ΖΗΣΕ ΤΗΝ ΑΙΩΝΙΑ ΖΩΗ ΣΗΜΕΡΑ
Eternal Life Starts On Earth And Is Perfected
In Heaven
Live in eternal life today.
When we consider that we
already have eternal life, concepts like died with Christ or raised with Christ
take on a deeper meaning. We begin to have a better understanding of what it
means to live in the spirit rather than the flesh. Our lives are no longer
subject to the natural laws but to the eternal laws of God who is supernatural
and spirit. As we grow in the knowledge of Christ and see more revelation of
God, we essentially become more spirit than flesh. That is the purpose of
transforming us into the likeness of Christ. Eternal life is liberty from all
things of the flesh so that we can live in the eternal things of God. While all
of this will be perfected after physical death, we can still learn and grow and
enjoy a measure of eternal life today – right here and right now.
The problem is that we
get so bogged down with the challenges, problems, responsibilities, and
obligations that we miss this incredible truth. We somehow develop the notion
that eternal life is for the future, that we have to first endure here on earth
and receive eternal life as our reward. While this is true in a sense, God
actually desires that we live in the promise and grow into the promise here on
earth. We do this by being in Christ and through Him in us. He brings His
resurrection life to us – the eternal life – and imparts it to us freely and
without reservation. The power of God at work in us and through us is a taste
of eternity. Our physical bodies may be limited to the temporal and natural,
but our spirits, in Christ, are already in eternity. We simply need to grasp
it.
Eternal life is the
kingdom of God.
God’s kingdom is
eternal. It is of the spirit and is supernatural, and therefore is able to
transcend the natural. Salvation brings us into God’s kingdom, which is into
eternity. God’s purpose in salvation is so that His kingdom can be manifest on
earth. It is part of His purpose that we live eternal life here and now as a
testimony to who and what He is. He desires that His kingdom be revealed to all
mankind, and has chosen us to be the vessels through which He works. When we
don’t live in eternity, we limit what He is able to do through us. We don’t
only deny ourselves the incredible blessings of living a life beyond
expectation, but we deny the testimony He wants to reveal. What we live is what
the world will see and which will challenge them to make the right choice.
“The kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of
righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” -
Romans 14:17

Hopefully at this point, the reader sees that the traditional view of the “deeds of the flesh” does not hold in the context of Romans 8:13, because if it really was what Paul had in mind, no Christian will be saved, because all of mankind produce works of the flesh to varying degrees. – ΚΑΙ ΑΚΡΙΒΩΣ

ΣΤΟ ΠΝΕΥΜΑ ΘΕΡΙΖΕΤΕ ΑΙΩΝΙΑ ΖΩΗ!
This verse can be read in
different ways with wildly different implications. Not all Bible teachers or
Christian traditions agree about its meaning, making it another example of the
importance of context when studying Scripture.
Paul has described living according to the flesh as a life outside of Christ. This is a worldly life of serving self, first and always. Those who live according to the flesh are not Christians. They cannot submit to God's law and cannot please God (Romans 8:7–8).
Now, Paul writes that if you live according to the flesh, you will die. This is the first point of the verse where context is critical. Paul has made it explicitly clear in the prior passage that those who are in Christ cannot, by definition, live according to the flesh. That was not a suggestion that saved believers cannot sin, but a comment about the difference in the spiritual nature of those who are born again. Those who live according to the flesh are the same group as those who are not saved. Paul seems to mean that anyone who does not put their faith in Christ and change course by the power of the Spirit will die. This can imply some of the earthly consequences of sin, but Paul's main meaning here is a spiritual and eternal death.
Paul's next statement is that if, by the Spirit, you kill off the sinful deeds of the body, you will live. Here, again, context of this letter to the Romans is important. Some presume this to mean that a person who does not succeed in giving up all sin will not achieve eternal life. However, that explanation does not fit with everything else Paul has taught about our justification and having peace with God because of what Christ has done on our behalf (Romans 5:1–11). The following verse will continue to clarify this point.
Rather, this statement means first that those who are in Christ will, by the power of God's Spirit with us, find victory over our sinful desires. We will have greater and greater success in putting them to death. Perhaps second, it means we will really live, spiritually speaking, on this side of eternity, that we will experience the abundant life that God intends for us by putting to death the sins of our bodies.
Crucially, we should understand that this killing off of our sins is possible only through the power of God's Spirit. It's not something we can achieve on our own.

“Likewise you
also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to
God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Therefore, do not let sin reign in
your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.” Romans 6:11-12.
