Eternal life

Does eternal life mean waiting to go to heaven when we die or perhaps it starts here on earth and then it continues on after death, I don't think so, eternal life is knowing Jesus Christ and His Father John 17:3. Eternal Life is eternal because the ONE WHO IS LIFE IS ETERNAL; Jesus said that He is the way, the truth and the life in John 14:6, When we receive by faith the righteousness of Jesus, we have eternal life because eternal life is none other than Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:6 says we sit together with Christ in the heavenly places meaning we are not sitting around waiting to go there but rather we are there with Him. Believers in Christ have been called the body of Christ meaning we are the arms, legs and feet of Jesus on this earth meaning His Life is ours, His thoughts are ours and His works are ours, we are one with Him, He is the head and we are the body, we have eternal life right here and now. Amen!
