1 John 5:11
hath given—Greek, aorist: "gave" once for all. Not only "promised" it.
life is in his Son—essentially (John 1:4; John 11:25; John 14:6); bodily (Colossians 2:9); operatively (II Timothy 1:10) [LANGE in ALFORD]. It is in the second Adam, the Son of God, that this life is secured to us, which, if left to depend on us, we should lose, like the first Adam.
