Why do people think, 'eternal life' is after death?
-----------------------------------------
The bible is very clear, DEATH IS AN ENEMY and death is how we think, called the carnal mind.[Roms.,8v7]
-----------------------------------------
If WE LOOK at the bible life of Jesus Christ, we can see NO DEATH, lived IN Him. HE WAS A DEATHLESS person...an eternal life person as HE LIVED ABOVE DEATH, HE LIVED LIFE, AND DEATH WAS REMOVED, when He commanded it to depart.
[see the story of Lazarus as example]
Jesus mind therefore must have been trained up to think HOLY AND PURE.
Jesus mind therefore must have been trained up to think LIFE and HOW TO BE THIS LIFE THAT WAS WELL PLEASING, to His Father only.... and not pleasing to Himself.
Jesus thinking..... was different..... from human thinking.
so
Can a Christian person THINK like Jesus Christ, so that, their carnal human thinking mind, can be changed and transformed into a supernatural heavenly realm thinking pattern.
YES~!
we have the most famous passage every one knows... John 3 v 16.
'' for God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever shall believe on Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life.''
but what is ETERNAL..........
The bible teaches a more attractive Gospel, a fantastic New Life Gospel, than ever realised by the masses who embrace churchdom.
have you ever wondered over that scripture saying ..''changed in a twinkling of an eye''........
1 corn.15.v52.
i once did a small study on this and i found out that this really means...
TO BE REFOCUSED.
or
to be looking somewhere, but, suddenly our eye is re-focused and we look someplace else...meaning our eye has been RE-DIRECTED.
A COMMON EXPRESSION WOULD BE.
WELL.
that is what happened to me~!
there i was a few years ago, reading about Lazarus,[ like we all do] when SUDDENLY, out of the blue, my eye was REDIRECTED to see John 11 v 25......
in a ''twinkling of an eye'' I WAS SWITCHED OVER out from carnal religious thinking into A NEW WAY OF THINKING, the same thinking began in me as In Christ, for I SAW... what HE DID.
i HAVE TO believe Jesus Christ~! but~! IT IS NOT ENOUGH just to believe [even devils believe Jesus] we have to DO AND THINK AND ACT like HE DOES..... we have to progressively be transformed into a new creature where all old things [ the effects of the fall] have passed away....
another thing.
Have you ever wondered why, when a person dies,[ generally] there is a great sorrow, a mourning, a weeping....
Then the lie comes forth in the speeches of pastors who teach that death is not a reality, but the gateway of life more abundant yet, Most people are NOT ANXIOUS to depart from this life by dying. = an amazing thing is that the 'Grim Reaper' is not a wecomed guest,
think again...
it is AT THIS TIME...
IF Jesus carried NO death in His being...how did HE DO IT?
IF His saint, His new creature is to be MADE IN HIS IMAGE-THE HOPE OF GLORY, dont u think, they would have to be EXACTLY LIKE HIM in all ways? If Jesus carried NO death IN His being.... dont u think His saint would have to carry no death, in their being too, to be HIS IMAGE? - to put off mortal and be transformed into immortal.... see Roms.2.v.7.... we are to seek....to seek...immortality~! the bible tells us too. it is part of the training to graduate!
Christendom is sadly astray from the Bible
''The time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears. And they shall turn away their ears from the Truth, and shall be turned unto fables" (2 Timothy 4:3-4).
The bible is not designed as a text-book for theology to be learned by men ,
but God's revelation to man, revealing the way of salvation to all who will heed its message. We either "perish" or find ''everlasting life'' in Jesus Christ.
we have to do a RE-THINK, and re-focus OUR EYE ONLY on seeing Jesus Christ and the way He lived points to HOW HE LIVED IN ETERNAL LIFE.
Everlasting life, therefore, is something we must attain TO AMEN.

ETERNAL It IS an adjective: meaning continuing forever or indefinitely
There isn't to be any interruptions here!
"And this is the promise that He hath promised us, even eternal life." (1 John 2.25).
"He who believes on the Son has life eternal; he who rejects the Son shall not see life; but the vengeance awaits him" (John 3:36).
If we die, we do not receive eternal life. or... we have NOT received the SAME TYPE OF LIFE, THAT WAS AND IS ''''''''IN''''''''' Jesus Christ~!

people will seek every aid that modern science can provide, that they might retain their hold on life. Most seem reluctant to give up life upon the earth to experience the glory of an existence in heaven

The bible is not designed as a text-book for theology to be learned by men ,

I am the resurrection and the life, he that believeth on me, though he were dead, yet shall he live" (John 6:40; 11:25).
This statement of the Lord is supplemented by other references from the Bible such as the following:
"This is the PROMISE, that he hath promised us, even eternal life" (1 John 2:25).
"Paul, in hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began" (Titus 1:2).
"God will render to every man according to his deeds: to them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality (He will render), eternal life" (Romans 2:6-7). In these three references, eternal life is set forth (1) – as a promise; (2) – as a hope; (3) – as a reward for righteousness.
