Eternal Life:

This expression occurs in the Old Testament only in Dan 12:2 (R.V., "everlasting life").

It occurs frequently in the New Testament (Mat 7:14; 18:8,9; Luk 10:28; Luk 18:18). It comprises the whole future of the redeemed (Luk 16:9), and is opposed to "eternal punishment" (Mat 19:29; 25:46). It is the final reward and glory into which the children of God enter (1Ti 6:12,19; Rom 6:22; Gal 6:8; 1Ti 1:16; Rom 5:21); their Sabbath of rest (Hbr 4:9; Hbr 12:22).

The newness of life which the believer derives from Christ (Rom 6:4) is the very essence of salvation, and hence the life of glory or the eternal life must also be theirs (Rom 6:8; 2Ti 2:11,12; Rom 5:17,21; 8:30; Eph 2:5,6). It is the "gift of God in Jesus Christ our Lord" (Rom 6:23). The life the faithful have here on earth (Jhn 3:36; 5:24; 6:47,53-58) is inseparably connected with the eternal life beyond, the endless life of the future, the happy future of the saints in heaven (Mat 19:16,29; 25:46).
