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.
