Hello mylot users! If you have time may you give a portion of it to read steps below how to attain Eternal Life. I got this from The Navigators Website and its worth reading the steps below because it will let you know the reason why we need to receive Jesus Christ or to let Him INSIDE our heart. Step 1 - God's Love and His plan. God created us in His own image to be His friend and to experience a full life assure of his love, abundant and eternal. Jesus said, "... I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." (John 10:10) "... we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." (Romans 5:1) Since God planned for us to have peace and abundant life right now, why are most people not having this experience? Its because of the problem, we are separated from God. Step 2 - Our Problem: Separation from God God created us in His own image to have abundant(meaningful) life. He did not make us robots to automatically love and obey him, but he gave us a will and a freedom of choice. We chose to disobey God and go our own willful way. We still make this choice today. This results in separation from God. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) ",,, your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you so that he will no hear." (Isaiah 59:2) **** On our own, there's no way we can attain the perfection needed to bridge the gap to God. Through the ages, individuals have tried many ways... without success. **** Good works won't do it... or religion... or money... or morality... or philosophy... According to God's standard(The Bible) " There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death." (Proverbs 14:12) Step 3 - God's Remedy: The Cross Jesus Christ is the only answer to this problem. He died on the cross and rose from the grave, paying the penalty for our sin and bridging the gap between God and people. "For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God..." (1Peter 3:18) "For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Jesus Christ. " (1 Timothy 2:5) "But God demonstrate His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) Step 4 - Our response Believing means trust and commitment - acknowledging our sinfulness, trusting Christ's forgiveness and letting Him control our life. Eternal, abundant life is a gift for us to receive. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16) "I tell you the truth, whoever hears and believes Him who sent me has eternal life and will not e condemned; he has crossed over from death to life." (John 5:24) With the steps above mentioned, Is there any reason why you shouldn't accept Jesus Christ and crossed over to God' side and be certain of eternal life? We'll it still up to your decision. But when you decide to receive Jesus Christ, here's how to follow. HOW TO RECEIVE CHRIST: 1. Admit your need(I am a sinner). 2. Be willing to turn from your sins (repent). 3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross and rose from the grave. What to Pray: Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I now invite you to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as the Lord and Savior of my life. In Your name. Amen. **** God's assurance of eternal life If you've prayed this prayer and are trusting Christ, then the Bible says that you can be sure you have eternal life. Following the verses assurance from the Bible. "... for, everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:13) " For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9) "He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life." (1 John 5:12-13) Receiving Christ, we are born into God's family through the supernatural work of Holy Spirit who indwells every believer... this called regeneration or the "new birth." Myloters this will be the beginning of your wonderful new life if you receive him now. Have nice day!
