John 5:24  I tell you the truth, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.

Billy Graham tells a powerful story of something that happened as he addressed a large college assembly in California. Throughout the first part of his speech there were catcalls and derogatory remarks from some of the students; however, there was silence when he started to tell the story of a college student who had been in a car accident.

The girl's mother was informed that the injuries were such that the girl would more than likely die within a few days. The mother rushed to her daughter's bedside. As she held her daughter's hand, the young woman said, "Mother, you taught me how to hold a cocktail glass. You taught me how to have safe sex, but you never taught me how to die. Teach me quickly because I'm dying."

The ultimate question is, "What happens to me when I die?" The answer is found only in God's Word: "I tell you the truth, whoever hears My Word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned." The moment one is brought to faith through the Spirit of God, he or she "has crossed over from death to life" - eternal life.
