Topic:  LIFE (Eternal) a person’s new and redeemed existence in Jesus Christ that is granted by God as a gift to all believers. Eternal life refers to the quality or character of our new existence in Christ as well as the unending character of that life. The phrase, “everlasting life,” is found in the Old Testament only once (Dan. 12:2). But the idea of eternal life is implied by the prophets in their pictures of the glorious future promised to God’s people.

The phrase, “eternal life,” appears most often in the Gospel of John and the Epistle of 1 John. John emphasizes eternal life as the present reality and possession of the Christian (John 3:36; 5:24; 1 John 5:13). John declares that the believer has already begun to experience the blessings of the future even before their fullest expression: “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent” (John 17:3).
