God exists out of time. He sent Jesus to bring us to Eternal Life. A life that does not subject us to time, but rather empowers us to use time as a tool. Time is a created entity. It came into existence when God created the world. He created it to be an indicator of times and seasons. It was designed to inform- not dictate. The fall perverted this tool to produce the curse of ‘urgency’ which in-turn caused a riptide of negative effects in the lives of man.
This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. — John 17:3; You would have read this scripture in the Bible and easily have sailed past it without realising how one word could change its entire meaning. The addition of the word ‘about’ to this verse, changes the very relationship it talks about — ‘knowing You’ misconstrued as ‘knowing about You.’ When christians read this scripture, they almost inevitably, unknowingly and mistakably conclude that it’s talking about gathering information about God — or studying the Bible.
However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you… and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority… — Romans 8:9; Colossians 2:10. This world can add nothing to you, and it can take nothing away from you! You are spirit. Your existence is Spirit. Your physical presence here is the connecting link between Eternity and this physical world. Physical creation manifested out of Eternity.
