● 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.
Now; note 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 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.
