Bible Question:
Is "eternal life" in the bible present or future? Is it in terms of quantity or quality? |
Bible Answer: Eternal life, by definition, is not temporary. "Eternal life, Summary of the teaching: "(1) The life is called "eternal" because it was from the eternity which is past unto the eternity which is to come--it is the life of God revealed in Jesus Christ, who is God John 1:4 ; 5:26 ; 1 John 1:1,2. "(2) This life of God, which was revealed in Christ, is imparted in a new birth by the Holy Spirit, acting upon the word of God, to every believer on the Lord Jesus Christ John 3:3-15 . "(3) The life thus imparted was from the beginning." But the recipient is a "new creation" 2 Corinthians 5:17 ; Galatians 6:15. "(4) The life of God which is in the believer is an unsevered part of the life which eternally was, and eternally is, in Christ Jesus--one life, in Him and in the believer--Vine and branches; Head and members 1 Corinthians 6:17 ; Galatians 2:20 ; Colossians 1:27 ; 3:3,4 ; 1 John 5:11,12 ; John 15:1-5; 1 Corinthians 12:12-14."
