Regeneration
Under the new covenant, Jesus taught that believers in the Son immediately possess eternal life (, ; ; ; , ; ).
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
The life Jesus bestows is eternal (aionios) both qualitatively (a radically new kind of life) and quantitatively (life without end).
A new life that could be forfeited or terminated would not be eternal. So Jesus made the unconditional promise, “He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die” (; cf. 6:51).
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
Jesus furthermore taught that true believers never will come into judgment (): “whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life” ().
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
The perfect of metabainō (“pass from one place to another”) indicates the believer’s accomplished transition from the state of death to the state of life (cf. ). Eternal life is a present possession; there is no reverting to one’s pre-regenerate condition; judgment is forever behind the believer in Jesus. “The action picture [of ] is final and irrevocable, like that of a person who has burned his bridges behind him.”
14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
Jesus said that he knows his sheep individually and calls them by name; hence they listen to his voice and follow him (). The Lord continued, “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish [ou mē apolōntai eis ton aiōna]” (v. 28a). The Greek contains the strongest possible negation and affirms that the sheep assuredly will not be forever lost. Jesus then added, “no one can snatch them out of my hand” (v. 28b) and “no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand” (v. 29). These sayings place the security of the sheep squarely in the power of the Father and the Son within the unity of the Godhead (v. 30).

King James Version Chapter 10
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and my Father are one.
