John5:24

24 Verily, Verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me , hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation , but is passed from death to life .

He that so heareth my words, that they are not a mere sound in his Ears, nor affect his Heart with some mere sudden and vanishing Passion; but so, that he gives an assent to them upon my Authority, and that firmly and steadily believeth him that sent me (the Particle on seemeth not well put in by our Translators; in the Greek it is [non-Latin text not transcribed]) giveth Credit to the words of my Father that sent me, believing that I am his onely begotten Son, whom he hath sent into the World, and receiving me as such, hearing me according to the Command of the Voice from Heaven, Mat. 17.5.

he hath a certain Title to Everlasting Life; and hath received the first fruits of that Harvest, Rom. 8.23. the incorruptible Seed of the Word, 1 Pet. 1.23. and already sitteth in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus, Eph. 2.6. and hath the Kingdom of God within him, Luke 17.21. and shall not come into that Judgment which shall issue in Eternal Condemnation

but is passed out of a state of Spiritual Death, into a state of Spiritual Life; and shall be at last eternally saved, and pass into the actual fruition and enjoyment of Life Eternal.
