MORE INFORMATION AND/OR OTHER SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:
Eternal life here is an infinitely high quality of life in living fellowship with God--both now and forever. Eternal life is something the obedient believer lives every day, and looks forward to for eternity:
Romans 6:22-23: "But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
