Jesus Gives Us Eternal Life
25 Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me, 26 but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.”

John 17:3
Now this is Eternal Life
3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
I believe that eternal life gives life meaning and purpose....So it is easy to believe that Jesus teaches about the eternities...And Jesus said a lot about eternal life...St. John wrote, that God so loved the world that He gave his One and Only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life...Jesus said, "For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day."...Jesus adds that, "Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life."...Jesus answered a question one day concerning eternal life and said, “I did tell you, but you do not believe...The works I do in My Father’s name testify about Me, but you do not believe because you are not y sheep...My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me...I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of My hand.”...
With Jesus saying these things we should listen and believe...But modern man believes much in what is going on day to day on earth, and generally has a routine that he or she follows...And that is not a bad thing, unless one only believes that life is a day to day thing and that there is no eternal life, beyond this one...I believe we need eternity...Without eternity how can an earthly life have meaning and purpose?...Eternity puts God in this life...And not only in this earthly life, but also in the eternal...If there is eternity then there is God...And He is then in this present moment...
An earthly life and one's death cannot give life purpose...We need eternity and God for life to have meaning...Purpose in life, can only come from God and eternal life...If God does not exist, then there is purpose, no meaning in life on earth and thus no afterlife, therefore, no eternity...If there is no eternity, then man is doomed to live just a few quick years on earth and then dies and all is final...His life is over...So without eternal life and eternity, there is no purpose in an earthly life...
So let us listen and believe in Jesus, when He said, "Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent."...In John's Gospel Jesus said, “I AM the resurrection and the life...The one who believes in Me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in Me will never die...Do you believe this?”...
