Lay Hold On Eternal Life

Summary

The sermon explores the biblical concept of "laying hold on eternal life" as found in 1 Timothy 6, emphasizing that eternal life is a gift and promise from God given to the elect before the foundation of the world. It contrasts eternal life with earthly life, highlighting the dangers of pursuing riches and the love of money, which can lead to temptation, destruction, and falling away from the faith. The preacher urges believers to flee from worldly temptations, follow righteousness, and fight the good fight of faith to truly grasp and enjoy eternal life. The message also stresses contentment, godliness, and the importance of trusting in God rather than uncertain riches.
