ETERNAL LIFE begins when a person is in Christ and Christ is in him.
Joh_3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Joh_5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Joh_6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
The word "HATH" is equivalent to "has" which means present possession. If it were a promise, the statements should have been;
Joh_3:36 He that believeth on the Son WILL HAVE everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Joh_5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, WILL HAVE everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Joh_6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me WILL HAVE everlasting life.
Another very important affirmation from our Lord is this :
Joh_11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
If we believe this, if we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, that means death is no more so fearful because the Second Death has no power over us. It also means that LIFE with Christ continues after death. Finally, it means Eternal Life is Christ and the Father.
Joh_17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
The knowledge of the Father and the Son means Eternal Life has begun in that person.
