● John 6:53 . . Truly, Truly, I say to you: unless you eat the flesh of the Son
of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.
The kind of life about which Jesus spoke is not of this world, i.e. it's
supernatural.
● John 6:54 . . He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life
Eternal life is far and away superior to human life. It never gets old, it never
wears out, it never wears off, nor does it ever need replenishing because it
can't be used up with any more ease than God can be used up.
● 1John 1:2-3 . .The life was manifested, and we have seen and bear
witness and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and
was manifested to us
Ergo: it's only necessary to obtain eternal life one time and one time only
because it's perpetual, viz: eternal life always was, it always is, and it always
shall be.
The grammatical tense of John 6:54; it's present tense rather than future;
indicating that when people correctly dine upon Jesus flesh, and correctly
imbibe his blood, they obtain eternal life immediately: no delay and no
waiting period.
NOTE: Eternal life and Immortality are not synonymous, viz: they are not
two ways to say the same thing. The two are juxtaposed in 2Tim 1:10;
where the terms are connected with a conjunction. They aren't connected
with a verb, so that you can't say eternal life is immortality; no, eternal life
and immortality are two distinctly different subjects.
For example: Jesus had eternal life when he was here (John 5:26) but he
didn't obtain immortality till after his resurrection. (Rom 6:9, Rev 1:18)
And according to John 6:54, the apostles had eternal life too; but it didn't
prevent their demise; they're all gone.
The possession of eternal life is very crucial because every Christian lacking
eternal life is also lacking unity with God's son, i.e. they are quite literally
christless Christians.
● 1John 5:9-13 . .We accept human testimony, but God's testimony carries
more weight because it is the testimony of God, which He has given about
His son. . . . And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and
this life is in His son. Whoever has the Son has the life; whoever who does
not have the life, does not have God's son.
