As Christians all over the world celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ, it’s important for us to grasp the full import and meaning of eternal life within all the celebrations.
The fact that Jesus was brought into this life makes it absolutely imperative that we know what it means and the core reason for our celebration.
What then is eternal life?
John 17:3 AMP declares “Now this is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true [supreme and sovereign] God, and [in the same manner know] Jesus [as the] Christ whom You have sent.”
We must NOT miss the fact that this 
scripture highlights the key purpose of the birth of Jesus Christ.
To understand what it means, you’d have to first understand what the Scripture says about God, about the divinity of Jesus Christ, and life itself.
Many have only known eternal life to be the life and nature of God. But I’ll give you a definition that clarifies it. Eternal life is the organic and existential attributes of deity.
In those few words, you have the distinguishing factors—everything that separates our God from all others that may be called gods.
These attributes must be organic, and they must be existential. And you can only find that in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as expressed in Jesus Christ.
That is what makes it beautiful because we don’t see Him, yet we can call Him God.
But who is He when you don’t see Him? That is why many have represented God with whatever they think He is—stones, wood, or some materials and shape—but our God is real and true.
Some people may argue that He doesn’t exist, but He came to us in Jesus Christ.
The Bible says, “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth” ~ John 1:14 NKJV.
Jesus is Himself, God. And He is eternal life:
1 John 5:20 AMP tells us “And we [have seen and] know [by personal experience] that the Son of God has [actually] come [to this world], and has given us understanding and insight so that we may [progressively and personally] know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. THIS IS THE TRUE GOD, AND ETERNAL LIFE”
1 John 1:2 AMP also tells us “and the Life [an aspect of His being] was manifested, and we have seen [it as eyewitnesses] and testify and declare to you [the Life], the eternal Life who was [already existing] with the Father and was [actually] made visible to us [His followers]—”
NOW LET US PRAY
Father, I thank you for the revelation of your personality to my spirit.
I am in awe and overwhelmed by your boundless love.
I thank you for the privilege and blessing to be a partaker of your life, and the ability for us show your praises and express your righteousness in the earth.
Jesus thank You for Your love for us in making a way for us to have eternal life.
In Jesus’ Mighty name Amen we pray . Amen 
Have a blessed day
