Eternal life is the life of God

[jidong xiao]

永远的生命是不能毁坏的生命。（来七16。）这生命是一切都不能毁坏，都不能消除的。这是无穷尽的生命，是永远、神圣、非受造的生命，也是经过死亡和阴间之试验的复活生命。（徒二24，启一18。）撒但和他的跟从者以为，藉着将这生命钉十字架，已经把这生命了结了。宗教的首领也有类似的观念。然而，钉十字架却成了最好的机会，让这生命繁增、繁殖。因为这生命是不受限制的，所以它绝不能被征服、折服或毁坏。

永远的生命就是神的生命。（弗四18，彼后一3。）我们可以说，这生命实际上就是神自己，连同神圣的爱和神圣的光为内容。并且这生命是属于神的灵，（罗八2，）特别是当它成了我们的生命，给我们享受时。

The eternal life is an indestructible life (Heb. 7:16). Nothing can destroy or dissolve this life. It is an endless life, being the eternal, divine, uncreated life, and the resurrection life which has passed through the test of death and Hades (Acts 2:24; Rev. 1:18). Satan and his followers thought that they had terminated this life by crucifying it. The religious leaders had a similar concept. However, crucifixion gave this life the best opportunity to be multiplied, to be propagated. Because this life is unlimited, it can never be conquered, subdued, or destroyed. 

Eternal life is the life of God (Eph. 4:18; 2 Pet. 1:3). We may say that this life is actually God Himself with the contents of divine love and divine light. And this life is of the Spirit of God (Rom. 8:2), especially when it becomes our life for our enjoyment. The Son of God Eternal life is also the Son of God. This life is not simply a matter or a thing; this life is a Person.
