JOHN CHAPTER 6 PART 2 WHAT IS GLORIOUS “LIFE”?

It should be kept in mind that Jesus was living a life of authority over satan before His Crucifixion and Resurrection, such as when He sent out the 70 and the 12 to heal and cast out demons in His Name before His death. But if this is true, as shown in Scripture, what was the Victory over satan after His Death and Resurrection for? What did His death and resurrection accomplish? If man was able to take authority over satan before His death and resurrection, why then was it necessary that Christ should shed His Blood? If there was efficacy enough in the blood and flesh of a slain lamb to remit sin and bring justification before God as it relates to eternal life, why the necessity of Christ’s Death and Blood? The answer is that there is a vast difference between eternal life and glorious Life (eternal glory) for which the blood of an animal could not answer. Certainly if the blood of an animal could bring remission of sins and justification for eternal life…then how far greater does the Blood of Christ reach? It is one thing to be appointed to exercise authority in someone else’s authority, and it is totally another thing to be the authority. The ‘Bride’ of Christ and ‘First-Born’ son of God is to be the Authority. It is the one thing to be the appointed authority over the household, and another to be the wife of the homeowner. Just as it is one thing to be a subject of the King, and another to be a member of the Royal Family, and even another to be His Queen. As these relationships represent a different degree of closeness, Eternal life and Glorious Life are degrees of the same Life that represent degrees of closeness and relationship with God. There is a vast degree of difference between eternal life and eternal glory.

Eternal ‘Death’ in the Lake of Fire is defined as the ultimate separation from God the Creator and Judge. This then is the state of no ‘life’ as opposed to a state of non-existence. Scripture declares that there shall be no more ‘death’…which is to be understood as no more material dying or spiritual dying leading to the ultimate separation from God. We can say that intelligent Creation may be discovered to be on one end of ‘Life’ without any relationship with God which is eternal death… or they may be on the other end of ‘Life’ in ultimate glorious intimacy of union with God.

Dead unsaved men are under the sentence of eternal death but they are not yet judged or condemned to eternal death in the Lake of Fire… which only the Great White Throne Judgment will determine. That Judgment being for each and every one brought up out of the intermediate place of the Dead in the 2nd resurrection.

VERSES 25-40… “And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. They said therefore unto him, What sign showest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world (“For in the day thou eatest of this ‘Tree’, thou shalt surely live”). Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst (reference the Holy Spirit). But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this....
