Many speak of being saved and having eternal life. Yet, what is it?

Jesus, when He was praying for Himself, declared, “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” John‬ ‭17:3‬ ‭NKJV‬

‬ The Greek translation of eternal is aiōnios, perpetual or past time. God is eternal; He is the one past time.

“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:8

God is the eternal now.
