This summarizes the blessing of the believer’s subjective witness—the very life that we possess in Christ expressed in the grace and power He provides all the time. It is the very experience of knowing Christ in one’s life. Life is only in Him, so it is impossible to have it without Him.

1st John 5:11-12
And this is the record that God hath given to us eternal life and this life is in his Son He that hath the Son hath life and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
