Life

More clever from John Cleese:

Thankfully the religious history of the New Testament does not promise 'terminal life' for those in Christ.

Examples:

John 1-3

Romans 3

Romans 6

Revelation 20-22

  1. Romans 3:21-26

    New American Standard Bible (NASB)

    Justification by Faith

    21 But now apart [a]from the Law the righteousness of God has been revealed, being witnessed by the [b]Law and the Prophets, 22 but it is the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those [c]who believe; for there is no distinction, 23 for all [d]have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God displayed publicly as a [e]propitiation [f]in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, [g]because in God’s merciful restraint He let the sins previously committed go unpunished; 26 for the demonstration, that is, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who [h]has faith in Jesus.
