“Calling ten of his servants, he gave them ten minas, and said to them,
‘Engage in business until I come.”
Luke 19:13 (ESV)
Eternal life is not a distant future promise, but a present reality found in our relationship with the living Christ. Every true child of God, from the youngest to the oldest, has received the indwelling life of Jesus. It is in our holding Him and Him holding us, that we NOW have eternal Life.
“And this is the witness: that God gave us everlasting life, and this life is in His Son. The one having the Son has life. The one not having the Son of God does not have life.”
1 John 5:11-12 (LITV)
This life isn’t just about knowing doctrine or attending church; it’s about actively engaging with God, responding to His Spirit, and allowing Christ to be made manifest in every part of who we are. Faithfulness to this entrusted life results in the development of a greater capacity to serve Him in this life and, more importantly, in the one to come.
“And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant:
because thou hast been faithful in a very little,
have thou authority over ten cities.”
Luke 19:17
The Christian life, then, is a dynamic, intimate journey with God — one where each believer’s unique identity and calling are essential to the health and fullness of the Body of Christ.
“Who “will render to each one according to his deeds”: eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath.”
Romans 2:6-8 (NKJV)
“Haste thee on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer,
Heaven’s eternal day’s before thee;
God’s own hand shall guide thee there.”
H. F. Lyte.

It is given to us to know him personally aside from all of the vestiges of “the Church”. Breathing, the wonder of light, the sensation of the wind, the garvity that we experience, all of the facets of being alive are more than just existence. Even rocks exist, but Jesus said that the rocks will cry out.
Thank you Brian, blessings.
Re Romans 2:6-8 AMP
Christ bore the brutal brunt for our sins, as the Holy One, the Justice, to marry His beautified, blessedly beloved bride and reconcile her to His ardently affectionate Abba.
1 Peter 3:18
For indeed Christ died for sins once for all, the Just and Righteous for the unjust and unrighteous [the Innocent for the guilty] so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit
Zephaniah 3:17 AMP
“The Lord your God is in your midst,
A Warrior who saves.
He will rejoice over you with joy;
He will be quiet in His love [making no mention of your past sins],
He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.
