Let's get one thing straight first. Thanks for the Welcome!

Now, if you read what Christ said you will find him saying, You are in this world but not of this world. This means, the world has fallen but we have been raised in Christ. Christ died not just so we can have the life in the after life but he says He came so we may have life and life more abundantly. If he meant only eternal life than he would have not left us all here. He came so we can have eternal life and life more abundantly here on earth.

If you go over the entire Bible and understand the time periods and stories by allowing the Holy Spirit to reveal things to you than you will understand fully what Christ meant when he says. He who the son sets free is free indeed.
