60. "And behold, I am alive forevermore." This symbolically means that He is eternal life.

Since the declaration, "I am He who lives," symbolically means that the Lord alone is life and the only source of life (see no. 58 above), it follows that saying, "Behold, I am alive forevermore," symbolically means that He alone is life to eternity, and thus that He is the only source of eternal life. For He has eternal life in Him, and He is therefore its source. Forevermore means to eternity.

That the Lord is the only source of eternal life is clear from the following passages:

(Jesus said,) ."..whoever believes in (Me) shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)

He who believes in the Son has everlasting life, while he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him. (John 3:36, cf. 6:40)

Assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life. (John 6:47-48)

I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, shall live. ...whoever... believes in Me shall never die. (John 11:25-26)

And elsewhere.

This, now, is why the Lord is also called He who lives forever and ever in the following verses in the book of Revelation: 4:9-10; 5:14, and 10:6. And also in Daniel 4:34.
