Jesus offers us eternal life—not as a collection of facts…
““Jesus offers us eternal life—not as a collection of facts or rules to follow or as a commodity. He invites us to enter into interpersonal communion with his Father and himself through the Spirit for all eternity. (See Jesus’ promise of the Spirit of abundant life in John 7:37–39.) Jesus does not market eternal life. Eternal life is not some product or thing that Jesus gives us. Jesus is eternal life.””
