Have already
"I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life."
~ John 5.24 NLT
Not "will someday". But "have already passed from death into life". I have crossed the border of death and stepped into life.
I should leave behind my old self at the border, never to carry it forward into my new life.
"... anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!"
~ 2 Corinthians 5.17 NLT
