Is Everlasting Life Everlasting?

March 20, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Eternal Security, Everlasting Life
Chris from West Virginia asks an important question: I found myself Googling, “What is eternal life in Greek,” and stumbled upon a Quora forum where someone had asked the same question. The first answer…I found [was] not only concerning, but confusing. Does Eternal Life NOT mean eternal life? Chris gave a lengthy quote that can

Three Days That Changed the World (John 19:28–20:31)

April 18, 2022 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Easter, Everlasting Life, Resurrection, victorious living
On Friday we celebrate the cross of Christ. On Sunday we celebrate His resurrection. The Apostle John makes much of these three days in his Gospel. John stresses the fact that Jesus’ death and resurrection prove that He is the Christ, the Son of God, the Promised One who guarantees everlasting life to all who

Could Everlasting Life in John 3:16 Refer to Life in Heaven after We Die?

June 30, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Everlasting Life, guaranteed future in heaven, John 3:16
A reader from Latvia, M. A., asks: Hello, friends!  I understand your argument that a Christian could not possibly lose his/her salvation because “everlasting life” in John 3:16 by definition means a life that never ends—therefore a life that can’t be lost. But why couldn’t we see the “everlasting life” mentioned in the verse to

Everlasting Life Reconsidered

October 16, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Everlasting Life, John 5:24, life for the age to come, zōē aiōnios
Dr. Charles Ryrie famously said, “If everlasting life could be lost, then it has the wrong name.” Everlasting life is ever-lasting life. Recently, however, I came across an article from a Free Grace friend arguing that there is no Greek expression for everlasting life. He says, “zōē aiōnios…is not endless life, but life pertaining to

Replacing Everlasting Life with a Relationship with Jesus

February 13, 2019 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Eternal Security, evangelism, Everlasting Life, John 3:16, promise of life
Shawn was talking with a friend who takes online seminary classes. The man told Shawn he was a bit reluctant to raise Free Grace issues in his papers for class because the professor gives no indication that he is at all open to Free Grace Theology. Shawn’s friend told him that the professor is also

Is Everlasting Life the Result of Faith in Christ? Or Is It the Content of Faith in Christ?

May 30, 2018 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Assurance, evangelism, Everlasting Life, saving faith
Recently I received two similar responses to a recent blog (which you can read here). In the blog I had said that we must believe that what we get from the Lord by believing in Him is irrevocable, whether we call that everlasting life, salvation, justification, forgiveness, or new life. Those two responses I received

Is Ephesians 2:8-9 Talking about Everlasting Life?

May 22, 2018 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Ephesians 2:8-9, Everlasting Life, Faith, Salvation, Saving
In 2013 I was one of the authors of a four-views book on the role of works at the final judgment. In that book I suggested that Eph 2:8-9 says that everlasting life is by grace through faith and apart from works (Four Views on the Role of Works at the Final Judgment, Zondervan, pp.

The Believer Who Draws Back (Heb 10:38-39)

October 18, 2016 by Kenneth Yates in Blog - Eternal Security, Everlasting Life, Hebrews 10, rewards, Wasted Life
  by Ken Yates In the last two blogs, I have argued that in the book of Hebrews we see that a Christian cannot lose his eternal salvation. However, even though that is the case, a believer can sin against the Lord, even in a very serious way. Esau is an example of such spiritual

One Great Commitment?

October 12, 2016 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Commitment, Everlasting Life, LifeWay, Salvation, Shawn Lazar
Sunday School Confusion As our little Sunday School class has been studying through LifeWay’s Bible Studies for Life: Unvarnished Truth: Life’s Greatest Story, this past week’s lesson was a disappointment. Previous lesson titles included, One Great Creator; One Great Problem; and One Great Savior. All were fine. But the title of this week’s lesson (Session
