Bible Lesson (Praising God for His Amazing Grace) 1 Timothy 1 vs 2 - 20

The phrase Paul uses for eternal life is a phrase that literally means, “the life of the age to come.” The emphasis is not so much on the duration but the quality of this kind of life. Yes, it is life that lasts forever, but it is also life in God’s presence, life marked by holiness, life filled with peace and joy through the Holy Spirit. This is the kind of life that we will enjoy for all eternity, and yet we do not have to wait until we enter eternity to begin to experience it. In other words, eternal life starts now. When you trust Jesus Christ, you receive eternal life and begin to enjoy its benefits in the present.
