“Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.“ John 5:24 NASB

When Jesus speaks of death, He distinguishes physical death from spiritual death. Spiritual death is the soul’s separation from God because of sin. That separation is not overcome by anything we do, but by being born again into eternal life through faith in Christ Jesus.

Govern yourself accordingly.
