John 5:11–13 (ESV) 11 And this is the testimony, that God gave us Eternal Life, and this (eternal) Life is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has (eternal) Life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have (eternal) Life. 13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have Eternal Life. Eternal Life is a present spiritual reality existing forever; without end or beginning. Eternal Life was before Creation and Eternal Life will continue after the world is destroyed. All humanity is physically alive but spiritually dead and separated from God. God’s Son Jesus embodies the totality of Eternal Life. He who has the Son has Eternal Life. He who is without the Son does not have Eternal Life. Since Eternal Life is without end or beginning, it is currently present. We move from death to Eternal Life by trusting Jesus. This is not an idea nor a system of belief; it is a Person. That Person is Jesus
