Eternal Life: Enjoy it now and forever

Spoken of as a present possession Jn 5:24; Jn 6:47, 54; 1 Jn 5:11-13 Spoken of as a future reward Mk 10:30; Tit 1:2; 3:7; 1 Jn 2:25; 1 Tim 6:12, 19 Which is it? Present or Future? It is both!!

Eternal Life: Enjoy it now and forever What is “eternal life”? To know (that is, have a relationship with) God and Jesus Christ Jn 17:1-3

Eternal Life: Enjoy it now and forever What is “eternal life”? It is the opposite of “death” (that is, separation from God due to sin) Rom 5:21; 6:23

Eternal Life: Enjoy it now and forever What did God do to provide man with “eternal life”? Grace Rom 5:21; Tit 3:7 Free gift Rom 6:23 Gave His Son Jn 3:16 Gave understanding 1 Jn 5:20; Jn 6:63 Man can be “righteous”, “freed from sin”, “sanctified” Rom 5:21; 6:22-23 Man is able to begin an eternal relationship with God and Jesus Christ

Eternal Life: Enjoy it now and forever What must man do to have “eternal life”? o Eat Jesus’ flesh and drink His blood Jn 6:54 o Believe in the Son Jn 3:15-16 o Have a relationship with the Son 1 Jn 5:11-12 o Keep the commandments 1 Jn 3:24; 5:13; 2 Jn 9 o Hate his life in this world Jn 12:25 o Work in the harvest of souls Jn 4:35-36 o Share with our fellow man Mt 25:46; 1 Tim 6:17-19 o Persevere in doing good Rom 2:7 o Fight the good fight of faith 1 Tim 6:12 o Sow to the Spirit Gal 6:7-8 o Love brethren 1 Jn 3:14-15

Eternal Life: Enjoy it now and forever A Christian can be said to be in possession of eternal life because of his relationship with the Lord that he has now and will never end- not even his physical death interrupts it.

Eternal Life: Enjoy it now and forever A Christian can be said to not yet laid hold on eternal life because his relationship with the Lord has not entered its reward phase for which he hopes- heavenly, intimate, righteous environment; earthly body and pain and sorrow past Eternal life is a “now and later”

Eternal Life: Enjoy it now and forever Eternal life stands out compared to its opposites: Death/Eternal life Rom 6:23 Eternal Punishment/Eternal life Mt 25:46 Perish/Eternal life Jn 3:16 Wrath & Indignation/Eternal life Rom 2:7-8 Corruption/Eternal life Gal 6:8

Eternal Life: Enjoy it now and forever The opposites of “eternal life” are the result of sin. God has provided a way for us to escape the consequences of sin. Will we meet His conditions and enjoy eternal life now and forever? Or will we turn down eternal life and suffer the consequences of our sins? Acts 13:44-48
