What is eternal life?

Its the same thing as everlasting life.

And, its not a time period. ITs not... "starts when you die, and ends, never".

Saint...... Eternal Life is JESUS...."I am THE LIFE"..."I came to give LIFE"....."in Jesus is LIFE and this Llife is the Light of humans"

Everything that is living or was alive, was made alive by the LIFE of Jesus.
"For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him."

When you put a dead seed in the ground and cover it up, and water it a little bit and add some sweet sunshine...the seed comes to LIFE..... And that life bursts forth as that Yellow Rose. That Yellow Rose is the end result of the LIFE WHO caused it to LIVE.
When you next see Spring, all around you...... you are witnessing LIFE bursting forth as all that color...
Thats Jesus causing and generating all that as LIFE...
All of God's creation is Life formed as a type. "after its Kind".

Existence is LIFE.

John says "that you may KNOW that you have Eternal Life".. = You are to KNOW it.
Not doubt it.

And how do you know it?
You know it if you are born again, as Jesus who IS Eternal Life, is IN YOU.
Its His LIFE that caused you to be Born Again. "Christ in you the HOPE of GLORY"....Or, Jesus Came Down from Glory and is the HOPE and Glory of Heaven, who IS Himself Eternal Life.

When Jesus came to LIFE in that Tomb,... this is the same resurrection power that caused your dead spirit to be BORN AGAIN.
Its the same resurrection power that will lift you out of the Grave should Jesus not come back before you R.I.P.
"Jesus is the Resurrection AND the LIFE".
See how those work hand in hand?

And how did Jesus come to live inside you AS Eternal Life?...."All that Believe in me, i GIVE them, Eternal Life"......And this is GOD joining your reborn spirit with His Holy Spirit.

God puts you Inside the Spirit of Jesus, "IN CHRIST"...and your dead spirit became ALIVE, as everything that touches Jesus, is made Alive.

She said...>"if i can but touch the helm of his garment...>And Jesus FELT VIRTUE FLOW OUT OF HIMSELF. = LIFE flowed out of JESUS<> AS<> HEALING INTO that woman with the "issue of Blood".

Life flowed out of Jesus thru your FAITH, and your dead Spirit became a "NEW CREATION IN CHRIST", born again.

Welcome to ETERNAL LIFE. !

How do you like having Jesus FOREVER IN YOU as your personal Resurrection and Eternal life?
Well tell HIM. He did it for you. The Lamb is worthy to be PRAISED.. !

And...

Just like the Trinity is 3 as ONE.....So, Salvation is also 3 in One. Salvation is the eternal spiritual union of you, God, and Christ, as "ONE".
All of us, as the born again, are ONE with Christ and God. This is why we are THE "Bride"...singular....and THE "Body of Christ"....singular. "ONE".. God is A Spirit, and we are a NEW BIRTH Spirit, birthed INTO Eternal UNION with God and Jesus. = as "ONE".

So, where is your sin? Its on the Cross where you left it when you were born again... It died with Jesus who BORE Your SIN....and He died for it all.
And that makes you what?......It makes you this..= "As Christ IS...so are the BORN AGAIN, in THIS WORLD"....right now.

So, how can you be in that body, yet be "As Christ is, in this world? Its because its your Spirit which has been BORN AGAIN INTO UNION as "ONE" With God and Christ...so, "as Christ IS....so are the born again in this world".

----Jesus Himself IS Eternal Life.

Jesus said that if you believe in Him....(Heart Trust-Faith), that He "gives you eternal life".

How does He do it? He gives Himself on the Cross. Then, when you are born again, He comes to live inside you which puts you "in Christ".

That's How Jesus "gives" you Eternal Life. He gives you HIMSELF.

Eternal Life is Salvation. Jesus is Salvation.

If you have Him, you have Salvation and you have Eternal Live.......= because its all found "IN CHRIST" and Christ is IN YOU.

First you need to know the greek - Zoe Aionious, which should be translated, The Life of the Ages.
The Youngs Literal and Interlinear version will teach you that.

Young puts that as "age-during".

Life that lives this continuum . . . temporal life.

Life that comes not related to this continuum . . . of which there is only one alternative, life that lives in God . . . eternal life.

Much love!

You need to learn something about Manuscript evidence.
Its this...
There is no ORIGINAL Greek "text".
There is no "extant" Koine Greek "text".
THere are about 30 NT's in "greek".
Knowing which are corrupted, is what you need to know, moreso, then speaking the language.

John 17:3 - And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent (which is an intimate, experiential knowledge, found only in a relationship). The term "know" implies intimate, experiential knowledge, through a relationship with Him and not merely theoretical knowledge.
