Do we have eternal life in Christ now, or do we receive it in the future?

What is the Biblical definition of eternity? When do we receive eternal life? Do we receive it now (I John 5:11, I John 3:15, John 3:36), or in the age to come (Luke 18:30, Matt 25:36, Titus 3:7)?

John 3:36

ESV - ³⁶ Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
