"this life is through his Son" or "we will live forever if we are joined with his Son" or "we will live forever if we are united with his Son"
# Son
This is an important title for Jesus, the Son of God. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/guidelines-sonofgodprinciples]])
# The one who has the Son has life. The one who does not have the Son of God does not have life
Being in a close relationship to the Son is spoken of as having the Son. AT: "He who believes in the Son of God has eternal life. He who does not believe in the Son of God does not have eternal life" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
