Eternal Scripture.
Eternal Scripture.
"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life." "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."
What is eternal life scripture?.
In John 10:27–28 Jesus states that: "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish." This refers to the personal, heart to heart relationship the Christian is expected to have with Jesus.
Scriptures on Eternal Life
1 John 5:11 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
John 3:16 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.
Titus 3:4-7 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
John 10:27-28 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me.
1 Timothy 1:15-17 Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.
John 5:39, KJV: "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."
What does John 5:39 mean?
Verses 39 and 40 summarize a crucial point about the difference between faith and belief. A person who refuses to believe cannot be convinced, no matter what evidence they are given (John 5:40). In verses 37 and 38, Jesus criticized the local religious leaders for never hearing the voice of God. They are rejecting Jesus and His message (John 5:18) because they are unwilling, not because they are uninformed.
This is a key idea to consider when discussing ideas such as evidence, proof, and faith. The Bible never calls on anyone to express "blind faith," which is belief without evidence. In this very passage, Jesus is responding to criticism by giving three separate forms of evidence. He has mentioned human testimony (John 5:33) and direct observation—in the form of His miracles (John 5:36). Now, He is referring to the evidence of God's written Scripture. And yet, for some, this is not enough and never will be.
This is why God does not offer "proof" to all people: it won't necessarily produce obedience or trust. Simply knowing that God exists does not mean obedience will follow (James 2:19). Having knowledge does not always mean trusting in God, as Israel's own disobedience showed (Numbers 14:20–23; Nehemiah 9:16–17; Psalm 78:11–12). And, here, the fact that the Pharisees were knowledgeable in the Scriptures did not necessarily mean they were willing to accept Jesus (John 7:17).
Verse 40 will show the real problem behind the disbelief of these religious hypocrites, which is also the basic problem with all who reject Jesus Christ: they do not believe because they will not believe. No amount of proof is enough to overcome that.
