Abstract: Life is a major theme in the Gospel of John. The programmatic text (Jn. 20:30-31) pronounces the chief motive of the gospel as to ���have life in His name���. The Greek term ������ ��������������, meaning ���ETERNAL LIFE��� occurs seventeen times in the gospel. It is the rendering of Hebrew term, ������������ ������������ (a period without definite beginning or end). ������ doesn���t refer to natural life (yuch,) which has death as end. John uses this imagery in reference to the life that a believer gains by believing in Jesus. The importance of ���life��� is evident from the fact that it is mentioned both in the beginning (Jn. 1:4) and the end (Jn. 20:31) and so forms an inclusion for the whole gospel. Eternal life is a partaking in the life of God. The only qualification that goes with ������ in the gospel is ��������������, usually translated as ���eternal���. But even in places where he uses life without the adjective ��������������, he means the same as eternal life. �������������� in the gospel, indicates not only an infinite duration in the temporal sense, but also a qualitatively new life which even death cannot destroy. This academic paper is an attempt to study Jesus as the giver of eternal life.
