Our eternal life begins as soon as we are sealed with the Holy Spirit after believing!
Romans 10:9 "That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved."
John 15:26 "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:"
Our Advocate...Christ, is in heaven pleading on our behalf. He is not saying to the Father....."look how many good works your children are doing, this one gets to keep me and this one does not get to keep me." He is saying "Father, this one belongs to Me, I covered his sins in my blood and He is mine."
John 14:16 "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever;"
When we receive the Holy Spirit, He abides with us from that time forward until FOREVER. Our "forever" begins at the moment we have been indwelt and sealed with Him.
