"Eternal (166 /aiṓnios) life operates simultaneously outside of time, inside of time, and beyond time – i.e. what gives time its everlasting meaning for the believer through faith, yet is also time-independent. See 165 (aiōn). [166 (aiṓnios) does not focus on the future per se, but rather on the quality of the age (165 /aiṓn) it relates to. Thus believers live in "eternal (166 /aiṓnios) life" right now, experiencing this quality of God's life now as a present possession.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - עוֹלָם (olam) [Strong's Hebrew 5769]: Often translated as "eternal" or "everlasting," this Hebrew term is used in the Old Testament to describe God's eternal nature, His everlasting covenant, and the perpetual duration of certain promises or statutes. It shares a similar semantic range with αἰώνιος, emphasizing the timeless and unending aspects of divine realities. Usage: In the New Testament, αἰώνιος is frequently used to describe the nature of God, the life promised to believers, and the duration of punishment for the wicked. It appears in various contexts to emphasize the unending and timeless quality of divine realities. Context: The Greek adjective αἰώνιος is a significant term in the New Testament, appearing approximately 71 times. It is often used to describe the eternal nature of God and His kingdom, as well as the eternal life granted to believers through faith in Jesus Christ. For instance, in John 3:16, the promise of "eternal life" (ζωὴν αἰώνιον) is given to those who believe in the Son. This life is not merely unending in duration but also of a quality that transcends temporal existence, characterized by a relationship with God.
