(To) become what we were made to “be” (sons); one in the Father, and the Son. [Pastor; Jn 17:21; 1 Jn 3:1]
Thus are we called to fight the good fight of faith, and lay hold of eternal life (IN Him); who was made the captain of our salvation; that He might bring many sons unto glory (even God's presence). [1 Tim 6:12; Heb 2:10]
Eternal life is exclusively God's; but we have it (having been made partakers of, or participants IN Christ's life). Jesus said, “I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand.” [Pastor; Jn 10:28]
When Jesus told the Samaritan woman, at the well: “The water (Holy Ghost) that I shall give (you) ...shall be IN (you) a well ...springing up into everlasting life;” and the woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water (Holy Ghost).” And I say, Amen! [Jn 4:14-15]
ThenSingsMySoul:
HE LIVES! HE LIVES!
CHRIST JESUS LIVES TODAY;
HE WALKS IN ME, HE TALKS THRU ME,
ALONG LIFE'S NARROW WAY.
HE LIVES! HE LIVES!
SALVATION TO IMPART;
YOU ASK ME HOW I KNOW HE LIVES,
HE LIVES WITHIN MY HEART!
