17. We are indwelt by Christ. John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
18. We posses eternal life. John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
I encounter Christians on a regular basis on the internet unaware that that Christ and eternal life are inseparable; viz: according to 1John 5:9-12 you can't have one without the other.
Some are waiting till they pass on to find out whether they have Christ; but it is God's wishes that Christians make it their business to find out now, rather than wait till later.
†. Rom 8:9 . . Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Christ.
†. 2 Cor 13:5 . . Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you-- unless, of course, you fail the test?
