The Holman Dictionary’s definition for eternal life is a great resource to have on hand when witnessing to your Mormon friends! Share this with them, including the fact eternal life also means obedience to the Lord Jesus. However, never underestimate the power of explaining obedience once you’re saved, is far different than being obedient to be saved!
Holman Bible Dictionary; “ETERNAL LIFE The quality of life including the promise of resurrection which God gives to those who believe in Christ…Believers are to guard their persons or souls by serving Christ and following Him (John 12:26). Such servants will be where Christ is, and the Father will honor them (John 12:26). To be where Christ is means to come into eternal life—a life freed from sin or moral evil.”
