Listen to What Jesus Christ Said

And what exactly is the offer of life from Jesus Christ?  Well, using His words it is Everlasting Life.  I capitalized Everlasting Life because it is not ordinary life.  It is life that once received never ends.   Amazingly, the Lord Jesus Christ offers anyone and everyone who will believe Him for the gift of that life to actually receive Everlasting Life immediately. 
 
So, when can someone receive this gift of everlasting life?  Well, according to Jesus Christ, Himself the giver, you receive it when you believe He is the giver of life and believe He’ll give it to you!  Take note of this Biblical passage:
 
John 5:22-25 - For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, 23 that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. 24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. 25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.
 
Those are Jesus Christ’s words and He perfectly understands the language He used.  And here is what He said means: God has committed all judgement to Jesus Christ, His Son.  And here is the Son’s judgement - he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent me has (a present active indictive verb); everlasting life, and shall not come (a present passive verb) into judgement; but has passed (a prefect active indictive verb) from death into life.  Present tense means the one who believes has that everlasting life the moment they believe.  They have presently passed out from future judgement.  The perfect tense means this passing from death to life is permanent as is the freedom from judgement.   
 
There are people who teach everlasting life is something you receive in the future when you die.  Others say you can receive it now, but it could be lost if you fail to live up to your beliefs.  Both positions ignore the clear and emphatic teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ.  My advice is you should stick with what Jesus Christ has said because the Father has committed all judgement to Him.
