  1. Do You Have Jesus Christ ETERNAL LIFE?

  2. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life…". Jn 14: 6 Jesus is "the life" in the sense that He is the author and source of life. “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; And you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life”. Jn 5:39-40

  3. “I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” Jn 6:51 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. Jn 1:4 Jesus said: "I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live”. Jn 11:25

  4. Jesus also spoke of "eternal life." Hear Him, "And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” Matt 25: 46 The word "eternal" (aionios) is an interesting word. Age-lasting is the inherent meaning. Aionios (eternal) is used 71 times in the Greek New Testament. Scholars site three instances in which aionios is used with limited duration in mind. Tit 1: 2; Rom 16: 25; 2 Tim 1: 9. Hence, 68 times aionios is used of eternity, as we understand eternality.

  5. How To Have Eternal Life: There are many ways people try to get to heaven to be with God. Some try to buy their way, others work their way. Some think if they are basically a good person, go to church or have a religion they'll go to heaven. But, all of these bridges that people try to build fall short and we are still separated from God. There is a gap between God and mankind and it's called sin. Because of sin we are separated from God.

  6. The Bible says: For all have sinned, and come short of the Glory of God; Rom 3:23 That means everybody is separated from God and heaven because of sin.

  7. For the wages of sin is death;but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom 6:23

  8. Let's look at Romans 6:23 WAGES Wages are something that you get for something that you've done. It's kind of like a paycheck. We all earn wages from God on our lives and we all will get paid one day. It’s the payment we shall receive.

  9. SIN Sin is breaking the rules. It is the transgression of the Law. God has established guides for our lives but we chose to disobey. His words are for our good. Sin is bad and evil. It's missing the mark. We could do much better but choose not to.

  10. DEATH Death is the penalty for sin. Because we all have sinned, we all shall die. Look at the local cemetery to see if people are still dying. This physical death is only one part of this sentence though. If we separate ourselves from God in this life then the same will be true if we were to die. That would truly be sad to be eternally separated from God and Heaven. Spiritually, we are all dead and on our way to Hell.

  11. The WAGES of SIN is DEATH ...

  12. BUT

  13. This word “BUT” is very important. It shows us that there is another side to what has already been said. Was it not for this word “but” being here, all hope would be lost for us. We would be eternally separated from God.

  14. GIFT Wages are received for what we have done. A GIFT is just the opposite. It has been paid for by someone else. Something very important has been purchased for us and it could be ours if we would just accept it.

  15. GOD Just as a GIFT is opposite of WAGES, notice that GOD is opposite of SIN. He is totally righteous and holy. God loves us and has a special gift to give us even though we are separated from Him by our sin.

  16. ETERNAL LIFE Just as DEATH is separation from God forever, ETERNAL LIFE is being able to be with God in Heaven forever. We can be DEAD spiritually even though we are alive physically. We can also be ALIVE spiritually and spend eternity in Heaven with God if we accept His free GIFT. How do we get God's free GIFT?

  17. THROUGH JESUS CHRIST The Bible tells us that there is only one way to get this GIFT of ETERNAL LIFE and it is THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. We must realize that Jesus is the only way to get to Heaven. He's the one who paid for the GIFT by dying for our sins and rose again. His blood that was shed can clean us white as snow and make our hearts and lives anew. He is the Son of God who came down on earth took the form of a man to bring us into heaven.

  18. LORD Jesus Christ must be our LORD. That means He must have total control of our lives. What He says, we will do. Where He sends, we will go. We must surrender all that we have and all that we are to Him. If He is not the Lord of all He has not become our Lord at all. Make Him our Lord and obey Him.

  19. For the wages of sin is death;but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom 6:23 Because of our sin, we are separated from God. We must turn away from our sins and turn to God and receive Jesus as Lord and Savior.

  20. ADMIT WE HAVE SINNED AND REPENT: We have sinned and we can't change by our own selves. There are things in our lives that are wrong and we want to make them right. We must agree with God and the His word that we have sinned, on our way to Hell, and we want to repent and turn away from our sins.

  21. BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST: He died for us and was raised from the dead so that we can be SAVED. Rom. 10:9. If He didn't do this, our sins could not be forgiven. Because of Christ paying the price for salvation and receive ETERNAL LIFE asking Him to be our Lord. He is the only way.

  22. CONFESS JESUS AS LORD: We must confess with our mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in our hearts that God has raised Him from the dead. We must be surrendering all to have eternal life. Call out to God now and ask Him to give you eternal life through His Son?

  23. PRAYER: "Lord, I'm calling out to You now because I have sinned and need to be saved. I believe that your Son Jesus died for my sins and rose again from the dead. Forgive me of all my sins and come into my life. Wash me with the blood of Jesus. I receive Him as my Lord and Savior and I receive eternal life now. Thank you, Father. In Jesus' name, Amen."

  24. Be Baptized in His Name Matt 28:18-20 18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, BAPTIZING them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

  25. Assurance of Eternal Life And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. 1 Jn 5:11-13
