The Gospel of John mentioned “zōē-life” in about fifteen (15) verses. We call it “zōē-life” to distinguish it, due to it’s spirituality and eternality, from psuchē-life which is temporal and earthly.
The following “ten things” John wrote about zōē-life is summary of his teachings:
1. The evangelistic purpose of John’s Gospel is stated this way: He wrote it,
“so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name” (John 20:31).
2. It presents two types of resurrections: one for those who have done good, the Resurrection of Zōē-life; and, another for those who have done evil, the Resurrection of Damnation (John 5:29).
3. It speaks of Jesus having zōē-life in himself granted by the Father (John 5:26).
4. It presents Jesus as THE zōē-life, the only way to the Father (John 14:6).
5. It presents zōē-life in Jesus as the Light of Men that shines which darkness hasn’t overcome (John 1:4-5).
6. It presents Jesus as the Light of the World that men should follow and never again walk in darkness (John 8:12).
7. It also presents Jesus, as the Bread from Heaven, the giver of ever satisfying, abundant zōē-life (John 6:33, 35, 48, 51; 10:10).
8. It metaphorically speaks of believing the words Jesus as partaking his own flesh and blood, so that they will live forever (John 6:51, 53, 63).
9. It assures anyone who dies believing in Jesus, the Resurrection and Zōē-life, shall live again (John 11:25) and those who lives and believes in shall never die (John 11:26).
10. It has issued a verdict that the people who loved darkness rather than light does wicked things and will not come to the light (John 3:19; 5:40).
