John 3:16,35-36 – For 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…The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.

John 5:24 – “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.

Application:

• ·         Eternal life is a present possession, not something the believer will only obtain later.
• ·         “Has crossed” means the decisive action has taken place, and the believer belongs no longer to the realm where death reigns supreme but to the realm of life.
• ·         “God so loved the word” is the great truth that motivated God’s plan of salvation.
