How to Have Eternal Life

God Would Have You Believe These Great Truths

Every person (you) needs to be saved.  "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23)  "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."  (John 3:3)

You cannot save yourself.  "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;" (Titus 3:5)  "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23)

Jesus has provided for your salvation.   "Who (Jesus) his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." (1 Peter 2:24 )  "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16 )

You must believe in Jesus for salvation.  "And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." (Acts 16:31 )  "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:" (John 1:12)

Now is the time to accept Jesus as your savior.  "(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)" (2 Corinthians 6:2)   "Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:" (Hebrews 3:7-8)
