“VERILY, VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU IF A MAN KEEP MY SAYING HE SHALL NEVER SEE DEATH”
—John 8: 51
“… Christ spoke of life everlasting. He said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” (John 6: 47) By this statement it is clear: for a man to win the prize which is proffered, everlasting life, then he can expect for that “LIFE” to “LAST” for “EVER”. Thus he is promised from the Master Communicator, the Word “EVERLASTING LIFE”. If Christ is to be believed, to secure that “gift”, a man must simply believe on Christ. Therefore, any who conforms with this specific prerequisite need not be concerned with death. Everlasting life, no matter how our minds twisted that simple concept yesterday, cannot be interpreted to be life, then death, then resurrection to life again. Thus, by virtue of the Lord’s carefully articulated words repeated several times during His testimony, from the moment a man believes on Him, such a man is guaranteed to live forever…”

Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”

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: and I will raise him up at the last day. The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven? Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.”
