Eternal Life is life's greatest blessing.

"This is Life Eternal" -- John 17:3

1 John 5:11-12 - This is the record.

Pearl of great price, treasure hid in the field. Matthew 13

Everlasting Life - quality, John 10:10 - "I have come"

People are lost, condemned, lonely without God, without hope, without purpose.
