AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 3:28 For we maintain that an individual is justified by faith distinctly apart from works of the Law [the observance of which has nothing to do with justification, that is, being declared free of the guilt of sin and made acceptable to God]. |
Bible Question: Jesus tells the lawyer before he tells the story of the Good Semaritan that he has eternal life if he loves God, loves his neighbor and loves himself. Is this correct? If this is correct, is there any difference between this eternal life guaranteed to us and the "everlasting life" guaranteed to us in John 3:16 and John 5:24? |
Bible Answer: The gift of eternal life mentioned in JN 3:16 is the same as the eternal life mentioned in JN 5:24. The moment we are regenerated by the Holy Spirit we receive the gift of eternal life. Eternal life is knowing God in the Lord Jesus Christ. Christians right now have eternal life and when they die they experience eternal life in all its fullness. "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent" JN 17:3 |
