Jesus says, “truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes Him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.” Note that Jesus says “Truly truly I say to you.” This means it is something that Jesus really wants to get across, really wants everyone to pay attention to. This is not some side comment but something essential.
Jesus grants eternal life to whom? To those who hear His word and believe in Him. They do not come into judgment of God, but have already passed from death into life. That is the promise for Ralph today and for all Christians.
