What does the Bible say about taking hold of eternal life?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible encourages believers to actively pursue and cling to eternal life as a present reality and a future hope.

The exhortation to take hold of eternal life is central to Paul's message in 1 Timothy 6:12. This concept is not merely about acquiring eternal life; it's about actively clinging to it with purpose. Eternal life is described as not just a future promise but as a present possession for believers, as emphasized in passages like John 5:24 and 1 John 5:11-12, which affirm that those who believe in Christ currently possess eternal life. Therefore, to 'take hold' indicates a call to live in light of this truth, pursuing righteousness, godliness, and the Kingdom of God, rather than being distracted by the fleeting pleasures and controversies of this world.
