Eternal Life (ZOE) The God-Kind of Life

Eternal Life (ZOE) The God-Kind of Life

Eternal Life: What it is, what it gives and what it does.

The problem with man is spiritual death (THANATOS: man’s

spiritual condition). We find in Genesis 2:17, Romans 5:12 and

Ephesians 2:2-3 that death spread to all men. Death does not mean

non-existence. Death is the spiritual nature of satan. It is the nature

of wrath man received through Adam.

Eternal Life (ZOE) is the life and nature of God, as found in

John 1:4, John 5:26, Ephesians 4:17-18 and Revelation 22:1. Man is

a spirit being in the same class of beings as God and angels

(including satan). Therefore, man can partake of this kind of life.

This is found in Genesis 1:27, Romans 8:29, I John 3:15, I

Thessalonians 5:23, I Peter 3:4 and II Corinthians 4:16.

The Inward Man Is The Real You

The purpose of Jesus’ coming was to create a new people with

this life (ZOE) in their spirit. We see this in John 10:10, John 5:40,

John 20:30-31, John 5:24, I John 4:9 and I John 1:1. Whosoever

receives Jesus Christ is born again and receives ZOE-Life (I John

5:11-12, I John 3:14, Romans 8:2-10, John 1:12-13 and John 3:6).

The Christian is born of God in spirit!

Eternal life does countless things for the believer. We are

going to look at eight main things eternal life does in and for the

recipient. These eight main truths will redefine Christianity once

understood. God has made us invincible champions through the

work of His Son!

4

The 8 Main Things Eternal Life Does:

1. Eternal life (ZOE) makes us new beings/a new species. In

other words, Eternal life makes us God-men! Your old self

has disappeared!

(II Corinthians 5:17, Romans 8:29, Galatians 6:15, Ephesians 2:15 and

Romans 6:6)

2. Eternal life (ZOE) makes us one with Christ.

(John 15:5, John 6:56, I Corinthians 6:17, Colossians 1:27)

3. Eternal life (ZOE) delivers us from satan’s dominion.

(Colossians 1:13, Romans 8:2, I John 5:18, Ephesians 2:6, John 5:24,

John 8:12, Acts 26:18)

4. Eternal life (ZOE) makes us more than conquerors.

(Romans 8:37, Ephesians 1:22-23, Ephesians 2:6, Colossians 2:9-10)

5. Eternal life (ZOE) gives us God’s ability.

(Philippians 4:13, Galatians 2:20, II Corinthians 13:4, John 14:10)

6. Eternal life (ZOE) causes us to always be victorious.

(John 1:4-5, II Corinthians 2:14, I John 5:4)

7. Eternal life (ZOE), when received in sufficient measure,

causes one to walk in divine health.

(Romans 8:11, John 7:38, Romans 5:10 (saved = SOZO), Romans 8:2,

Galatians 6:8, Ephesians 5:30)

8. You can have more or less of this life in your soul and body.

When eternal life (ZOE) is received in sufficient measure it

will live its’ own self out in you just like it did in Jesus.

(John 14:10, John 5:17)

AMEN

Matthew 18:8-9

“Wherefore if thy hand of thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and

cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or

maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into

everlasting fire. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and

cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one

eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.” – KJ

God. Nicodemus saith unto him. How can a man be born when

he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb,

6

and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily I say unto thee,

except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter

into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is

flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” – KJ

must the Son of man be lifted up. That whosoever believeth in

Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved

the world, that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever

believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For

God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but

that the world through him might be saved.” – KJ

“And he that reapeth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life

eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may

rejoice together.” – KJ

The man who reaps the harvest is being paid and gathers the crops

for eternal life; so the man who plants and the man who reaps

Already the Harvester is hired and is gathering spiritual life fruit, so

that the Planter and the Harvester may rejoice together. – CP

Son to have life in Himself.” - KJ

For the Father, being as He is the source of Life, has made the son

the source of life. – RIEU

bearer. – CP

For, just as the Father has inherent Life within him, so also he

20C

For just as the Father has life within himself, so he has given his Son

life, that he too may have it within himself. – 20CR

John 5:39-40

“Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life:

and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to

me, that ye might have life.” – KJ

You pore over the Scriptures for you imagine that you will find

eternal life in them, and all the time they give their testimony to me!

But you are not willing to come to me to have real life! – PHI

You do study the Bible, expecting to find spiritual life in it, and all

the while it is located with evidence about me. – CP

“And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which

seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life:

myself will make him new in the final hour. – CP

John 6:51

“I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any

man eat of this bread, he shall live forever; and the bread that I

will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” –

KJ

It is I who am the Living and Life—imparting Bread that descended

out of Heaven…and the Bread which I shall give is my flesh, given

to sustain the Life of the world. - WADE

The bread which I give, to bring the world to Life, is my flesh. –

RIEU

John 6:53-57

“Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you;

Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye

have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my

blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He

that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and

11

I in him. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the

Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.” – KJ

you cannot have eternal life within you. – LAU

…has (possesses now) eternal life… - AMP

…enjoys eternal life. – KNOX

with me and I in union with him. – WADE

and I share his. – PHI

…Whoever continues to eat my flesh and drink my blood continues

to live in union with me and I in union with him. – WMS

…As I, who am sent by the Living Father, myself draw life from the

Father, so whoever eats me will draw life from me. – JERU

…As the living Father sent me, and I have life because of the Father,

so he that eats me shall have life because of me. – PEB

John 6:63

“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing; the

words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” –

KJ

It is the Spirit that creates true life; mere flesh is of no avail. The

Words that I have spoken unto you are Spiritual in their meaning,

and Life-giving in their effects. – WADE

world; and he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but

shall have the light of life.” – KJ

spiritual darkness, but will have the light that proceeds from him

who is the Life – WADE

life-affairs in the Darkness, but-so far from that shall-be-in-

possession-of the Light of-The-Life. – CRICK

Life. – BERK

John 10:10

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to

destroy; I am come that they might have life, and that they

might have it more abundantly.” – KJ

I, on the contrary, have come that they might have life, and have it

in fullest measure… - WADE

I have come for people to have life, and have it until it overflows. –

“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish,

neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” – KJ

Though he should die, will come to life… - NAB

I am myself that day and that life; he who has faith in me will have

life even if he is dead, and no one who is living and has faith in me

will ever see death. – BASIC

14

John 14:6

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no

man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” – KJ

…I am the real and living way. – MOFF

…No one can come to the Father except through me. – WMS

John 14:19-20

“…Yet, a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye

see me; because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall

know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.” – KJ

…because I have life and you too shall have live. – RIEU

that day you will come to know that I am united to the Father, and

you are united to me, and I am united to you. – WADE

…I am in union with my Father, and you are in union with me and I

am in union with you. – WMS

John 15:4-5

“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by

itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide

in me. I am the Vine and ye are the branches. He that abideth

in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit; for

without me ye can do nothing.” – KJ

…Get your life from Me and I will live in you. No branch can give

fruit itself. It has to get life from the vine. You are able to give fruit

only when you have life from me. I am the vine and you are the

branches. Get your life from me. – NL

You must go on growing in me and I will grow in you. For just as

the branch cannot bear any fruit unless it shares the life of the vine,

15

so you can produce nothing unless you go on growing in me. I am

the vine itself; you are the branches. It is the man who shares my

life and whose life I share who proves fruitful. For the plain fact is

that apart from me you can do nothing at all. – PHI

Whoever remains in union with me and I in union with him will bear

abundant fruit, because you cannot do anything cut off from union

with me. – WMS

John 17:2-3

“As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give

eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is the

life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God, and

Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” – KJ

…Thou hast made him sovereign over all mankind to know thee

who alone art truly God. – NEB

John 20:31

“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the

Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life

through his name.” – KJ

All of this has been written down so that you can trust Jesus as the

Promised One, the Christ, God’s own Son. And so that – by trusting

him, personally you can have real life with God, starting here and

now, and going on…forever! – AUSSIE

…so that you believe Jesus is the promised Savior… - BECK

…that Jesus is the …Anointed One. – AMP

…having this faith, you may have life. – BASIC

16

Acts 3:15

“And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the

dead, whereof we are witnesses.” – KJ

…the Lord of Life… - NORLIE

…the Lord and Giver of life. – BECK

…you killed the man who blazed the way that leads to life… - BAR

…The Fountain-Lord of-The Life… - CRICK

Acts 5:20

“Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of

this life.” – KJ

…tell the people all you have to say about the new life. – 20C

…Continue proclaiming all the message of life. – WEY

…the whole message of this life. – NASB

Colossians 2:13

“And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of

your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having

forgiven you all trespasses.” – KJ

You, who were spiritually dead because of your sins and

uncircumcision (that is, the fact that you were outside the law), God

has made to share in the very life of Christ! – PHI

…you God thrilled with that same new life of Jesus. – WAY

…to you God gave Life in giving Life of Christ. – 20C

…he co-quickened you with him… - MAR

…he jointly made you alive together with him… - RHM

17

Romans 5:10

“For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by

the death of his son; much more, being reconciled, we shall be

saved by his life.” – KJ

For if, while we were rebels we were won over to God though his

Son’s death how much more, having been won over, shall we be

saved in his life. – CP

…reconciled to him, we are surer than ever of finding salvation in

his son’s life. – KNOX

…we shall be saved (daily delivered from sin’s dominion) through

His resurrection life. – AMP

…shall we be saved by virtue of Christ’s life. – 20C

…being already reconciled, shall we be saved by sharing in his life.

– CONY

…by His life in us. – NORLIE

Romans 5:17

“For if by one man’s offense death reigned by one; much more

they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of

righteousness shall reign in life, by one, Jesus Christ.” – KJ

For if, through the transgression of the one individual, Death made

us of the one individual to seize the sovereignty, all the more shall

those who receive God’s over flowing grace and gift of

righteousness reign as kings in the Life through the one individual,

Jesus Christ. – WEY

In consequence of that single first transgression, death became king

of men’s lives, through the one man’s demerit, all this will be far

more than compensated when those who receive the measureless

wealth of God’s grace and God’s gift of righteousness shall be kings

in the New Life, through the merit of the One, Jesus… – WAY

18

If one man by his sin made death a king, we, on whom God has

poured His love and His gift of righteousness, we are all the more

certain the one Jesus Christ makes us live and be kings. – BECK

That one man, Adam, when he sinned, put all men under the rule of

death. But that other man, Jesus Christ, makes men right with God

so that they shall live and rule like kings. This He does for all who

accept God’s rich forgiving love and His free gift. – LAU

For if, due to that one person’s fall, death is king through that

person, for more surely shall those, who receive the overflowing of

grace and the gift of righteousness, reign as kings in the life they

enjoy through the One, Jesus Christ. – BERK

If, by reason of one man’s fall, death exercised dominion through

that one man’s agency, much more will those who receive the

abundance of God’s grace and His free gift of righteousness reign

triumphantly in life through the one man Jesus Christ. – BRUCE

Romans 5:18

“Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men

to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free

gift came upon all men unto justification of life.” – KJ

Therefore, on the account of the offence of one, condemnation was

to all men, so on account of the righteousness of one, will the

victory unto life be to all men. – SYRIAC

Therefore, it seems, just as through a single transgression the

consequences extended to all men, resulting in a sentence of Doom

upon them, so through a single act of righteousness the

consequences have extended to all men, resulting in God’s setting

them right with Himself, and bestowing upon them life. – WADE

So then, as the one sin condemned all mankind, in the same way the

one righteous act sets all mankind free and gives them life. – GN

19

Romans 5:21

“That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign

through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our

Lord.” – KJ

As sin was king in the death realm, so might grace, through

restoration to favor, be king in the spiritual life realm provided by

Jesus Christ our Lord. – CP

As sin established its reign by way of death, so God’s grace might

establish its reign in righteousness, and issue in eternal life through

Jesus Christ our Lord. – NEB

Sin used to be the master of men and in the end handed them over to

death – now grace is the ruling factor, with righteousness as its

purpose and its end the bringing of men to the eternal life of God

through Jesus Christ our Lord. – PHI

So just when sin and death seemed to be the reigning powers grace

took possession of the throne, and that by means of a righteousness

that opened the way to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. –

WAND

God’s purpose in this was that, as sin had dominated the situation

with death as its inevitable sequel, so grace should dominate the

situation, and do so righteously, with eternal life as its goal, through

Jesus Christ our Lord. – BRUCE

Romans 6:4

“Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death; that

like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the

Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” – KJ

Our baptism in his death made us share his burial, so that, as Christ

was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might

live and move in the new sphere of Life. – MOFF

20

Your old sin-loving nature was buried with Him by baptism when

He died, and when God the Father with glorious power, brought

Him back to life again, you were given His wonderful new life to

enjoy. – LAU

We share HIS death through our baptismal immersion, were with

Him laid in the grave, in order that, as Christ was raised to life from

among the dead, through His Father’s glorious Power, we, too,

might pursue our course in the possession of fresh life. – WADE

…thus also we by means of a new life imparted may order our

behaviour. – WUESTS

…so we might (be raised from a life of sin now dead and buried

and) have our being in a new realm of life. – HUDSON

…may regulate our conduct by a new principle, life. – RUTH

Romans 6:5

“If we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, so

we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.” – KJ

For if we have grown into fellowship with Him by sharing a death

like His, surely we shall share a resurrection life like this. – WMS

For you have become a part of him, and so you died with him, so to

speak, when he died; and now you share his new life, and shall rise

as he did. – LAU

For as we have been fellow plants in the garden of his death, we

shall also be fellow plants in the garden of his risen life. – CP

Since we have participated in his death, we will also participate in

the new life his resurrection releases. – JOHN

21

Romans 6:8

“Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live

with him.” – KJ

Well, if we have died along with Messiah (and have so been

accounted righteous, we have a right to believe that we shall also

share His new Life) – WAY

And our belief is, that, as we have shared Christ’s death we shall

also share his life. – 20C

Now if we have shared the death of Christ, we believe that we shall

also share His life. – CONY

Romans 6:10,11

“For in that he died, he died unto sin once, but in that he liveth,

he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be

dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ

our Lord.” – KJ

In respect of His death, He passed by dying, once for all, out of the

sphere of sin; but, in respect of His new life, He is living in relation

to God. In the same manner you also are to account yourselves to

be, in relation to sin, dead men; but in relation to God, living men,

whose life absorbed in the life of the Messiah, Jesus. – WAY

Think of yourselves as dead to the power of sin; but now you have

new life because of Jesus Christ our Lord… - NL

Christ’s Risen Life is eternal—that is, not merely endless, but

supernatural, heavenly. Our Christian life, which began as we rose

up form the Baptismal water, has something of the eternal quality.

Christ died, and, by His dying and rising, conquered death. It has no

longer any hold on Him. He died a mortal death. That death broke

the power of sin. We need not stand now sword in hand, fighting

against evil. There is now no pressure upon Him from that quarter.

He has won the victory forever, and His life is wholly godward.

22

And the union in Life we are not divided—of baptized person with

Christ is such that they too have a resurrection-life. …His life is a

Risen Life. So, in its measure, is theirs… - CARP

Romans 7:10

“And the commandment which was ordained to life, I found to

be unto death.” – KJ

The very commandment ordained to bring me spiritual life in my

case proved the cause of spiritual death. – GREBER

Romans 8:2

“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me

free from the law of sin and death.” – KJ

Through your union with Christ Jesus, the law of the life-giving

spirit has set you free from the law of sin and death. – 20C

For the spirit’s law of new life in Christ Jesus released you from the

claims of the law of sin and destruction. – CP

For the law of the spirit, the source of life, made me free in my

union with Christ Jesus, from the law of sin and in its shadow,

death. – GEIKIE

The spiritual principle of life has set me free, in Jesus Christ, from

the principle of sin and death. – KNOX

For the principle of spiritual life in Christ Jesus has liberated me

from the principle of sin and death. – TNT

…the law of our new being. – AMP

Romans 8:10
