What is the justification of life? Zoe life is a KIND of life...a Christ-life, a God-life, an eternal life. We enter into that life by grace through faith. A Zoe life (eternal life) received from Christ displaces the carnal soulish life that is sold under sin thus liberating us to serve the Living God in both righteousness and holiness. Eternal life is NOW!

I'm not much of a video watcher, but I agree with your written statement in principle. And we who believe have received eternal life because it is IN us. As the bible says, "He has set eternity in our hearts." At the same time, it is a promise for the future as well...that we will never die.

Just to mention, I don't consider "zoe" to be any kind of magical word...it just means life, like death means death....and we need to know by the Holy Spirit whether spiritual (eternal) life is being spoken of or natural life....and likewise spiritual death or natural death.....or maybe both the natural and the spiritual are being alluded to at the same time in some places.

We receive eternal life ,when we have been Born Of The Spirit, He is the only one who can witness Gods Living word to our / spirit...when Spirit gives birth to spirit ...

His written word backs up,Gods “ Living “ word...you don’t need to read any Bible to be Born Of The Spirit...that is a supernatural/ spiritual birth that only God can do.

Preaching peace by Jesus Christ. ( that word sent/how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard/hear without being preached?)


Acts 10:36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

Eternal life is to know the Father ( the only true God) and to know the Son of God, Jesus Christ.

The born of God have to keep themselves so the wicked one ( of no faith/lies) does not touch them. ( again)

Believing that the Son of God has come ( in the flesh which the antichrist spirit denies) and has given to us an understanding ( the gospel preached/ the Spirit through thirsting for righteousness) to know Him that is true, to be in Him that is true, even in the Son of God Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

The little children do well to keep themselves from idols. ( all lies of the devil that is not the true God)..



John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

1 John 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

1Jo 5:12
He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.


2Jo 1:9

Whoever transgresses[fn] and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.


1Jo 2:23

Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

John 5:24 - Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment/condemnation, but has passed from death into life.

Are you claiming to walk in resurrection life? To walk as Jesus walked? Or are you looking for a religious formula that you can justify yourself with? The flesh is very tricky.

So basic...and so deep. Many will claim to understand Jesus and His doctrine...but do not DO what He says. Hearers and claimers only.

I don't understand the term Zoe. Is it a new Denomination?. I know what it means, eternal life but the way you use the word it's like an implication that the word Zoe means something extra special? I understand, live a zoe life. Of course!

But I found a term in scripture that spakes of a name above this name! My friens, you can say the same thing that you did using that name.

Live a Zoe life...
Live a Jesus life...

One's more accurate than the other, and you know that. So why make a big deal out of a different word. Is Zoe a new word for you that you learned? When I learn a new word, I know I like to try to start using it too. But let's not get distracted away from Yeshuah.

To be fair, I didn't watch your video, just read your post. So if you headed in a different direction in the video, my aplogies. That is you right? You sure look like him!

Rather than look for a way INTO Christ, to seek God and His kingdom realm, so many will look for verses with which they can justify themselves with in their present fallen condition. No honesty in that pursuit. Denial, denial, denial. Anyone who seeks to save his/her life...by claiming certain verses while ignoring the very ones that show them their true condition before God...will lose it. There is no fooling God. Self-deception makes the devil glad, but grieves the Spirit. Better to fear the Lord and present oneself to God to be dealt with NOW...to seek His face NOW...while there is still time. Religious certainty guarantees NO advancement in the truth but a huge shock on judgment day.

To learn about something, we compare. A man weighs more than a mouse and less than an elephant.

What is SO HARD about listening to a podcast??? :ummm: And then commenting as if you understand the point of it. Do you take time to read the bible...or are you too busy for that? A person can do more than one thing at a time. Listening while cleaning, or walking somewhere...all that is possible.

But my comparison was with words for life found within the bible. The different KINDS of life.

For those who are deaf and cannot HEAR the podcast... ;)

BIOS life: Human body life

Psuche life: Human life...the soul life.

Zoe life: Jesus life, eternal life.

Do you agree with what Jesus said John 5:24? Christians are to strive to walk as Jesus walked (1 John 2:6 - primarily in love) yet none of us measure up to Jesus 100% of the time. Believers will fully walk in resurrection life 100% of the time when we receive our resurrected bodies. (Philippians 3:21; 1 John 3:2)

I believe with each passing day, I hear the Spirit more and more, only the Spirit can open my ears to hear and eyes to see.

I was led to delete quite a few posts on a certain subject, the posts served no purpose, unedifying and unfruitful...just going over same old ground.

We are to Love our Brothers and Sisters in Christ, unconditionally, just as God Loves us, unconditionally, would you agree Epi?xx

I pray that we are all perfected in the Love Of Jesus, there is no Love like it Epi, as you well know,xx

Eternal Life is Now!

Absolutely…expressly For individuals Who abide by Gods “order and way”…the “caveat”….applicable to individuals Who;
Reach out and TAKE the Lord God’s Offering of Eternal Life…NOW.

Eternal Life, via the Tree of Life was Offered to Adam, of his own Freewill to reach out take and eat of “THAT” tree, but freely chose NOT to…and for 2,000+ years…what was Offered Adam…was/is Offered manKIND…

Many are Offered…Few shall Take it.

God Bless you.

Glory to God,
Taken

Amen Eternal life is now. And it is eternal. And it began at the point of new birth

anyone who tells you otherwise. does not really believe in eternal life. they believe in conditional life
The point is not just an endless life....but WHERE that life will be...in the holy city? Among the nations? In outer darkness?
