"AND I WILL GIVE UNTO THEM ETERNAL LIFE" John 10:28
"And I will give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of my hand" (John 10:28).
Our Lord gives us SPIRITUAL life that never ends. He gives us HIMSELF, who is life. He gives us HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS which entitles us to life. He gives us the EARNEST or pledge of life, which is His Spirit. This life is hid with Christ in God and is sure, certain, and secure.

4. What kind of PRIEST is Christ if His atonement fails?
5. What kind of PHYSICIAN is Christ if the patient dies?
6. What kind of KING is Christ if He has no subjects?
