John’s Gospel was written so unbelievers may believe and have life in Jesus’ name (John 20:31). Throughout the book, John presents eternal life through two inseparable elements: the Giver and the Gift. Jesus repeatedly identifies Himself as the source of life—“I am the resurrection and the life”—and calls people to receive everlasting life by believing in Him. Through signs, witnesses, and Scripture, John builds a clear, complete, and simple case: eternal life is not earned, but received as a free gift through faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Corporate election highlights God’s choice of a people—Israel and the Church—while still acknowledging individual callings for specific tasks. This article distinguishes election to service from election to eternal life, examines Romans 8:29–30 in context, and argues that a corporate framework preserves the Gospel’s clarity: salvation is offered to all and received by faith alone in Christ alone.

The rapture isn’t just a future event to debate—it’s a present motivation for discipleship. Scripture presents it as a source of hope and comfort, a catalyst for urgent service, and a reminder of divine accountability at the Judgment Seat of Christ. Living in light of Christ’s imminent coming shapes daily priorities, strengthens perseverance, and calls believers to faithful, purposeful service until He gathers His Church.
