How can I have Eternal Life?


  • JESUS? Who's that? I'll tell you. Jesus is God's only son, that came and gave his life for you. So that you could live eternally, and be with Him up in heaven. Believe me being a Christian is far from being boring!! This page is to show you how to be a child of God! This is the most valuable gift anyone can receive and yet it costs nothing to have. Jesus Christ came down to this Earth and paid the price for you and I, and that is why it is a free gift. He was ridiculed and mocked and yet he opened not his mouth and was crucified on a cross, because he loves us so very much. You are probably asking, what do I do to receive this Gift of ETERNAL SALVATION? Well the answer is so simple, most people don't accept it, and think they aren't good enough or too much of a sinner for God to love them. But that is so far from the truth, you see that is why Jesus came to Earth, for the sinners. He came to give us life where there was only death. HE LOVES YOU very much and please do not let anyone ever tell you differently. In John 3:16 it says, "For God so loved the world, he gave his only son, that WHOSOEVER shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved". It says whosoever, that means YOU and me. Some people think they are so bad that God doesn't want them, but that word WHOSOEVER means all of us. So smile, God wants you as well. To receive the gift of salvation, we need to acknowledge that we are sinners and we need to repent of our sins. The word repent means to turn away from the sin. Then we need to accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Meaning to believe in our heart that Jesus came to Earth and died for our sins! By praying a simple but powerful prayer called the "sinners prayer". Its not just saying some words and moving on, you see God looks at the person’s heart. That is why when you pray the prayer, it has to be from your whole heart. ARE YOU READY TO PRAY? Pray these words from your heart: God, I'm sorry for my sins. Right now, I turn from my sins and ask you to forgive me. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ to die on the cross for my sins. Jesus, I ask you to come into my life and be my Lord, Savior, and Friend. Thank you for forgiving me and giving me eternal life. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen If you prayed this prayer and meant it, you can be sure that God has forgiven you and received you into his family! You can let me know that you prayed this prayer, by commenting below! (Yes I did) To start your new life in Jesus, take these proven steps: 1. Get into a local Church--Find a good Bible believing, teaching church. A healthy church will give you opportunities to expand your new life in Jesus. 2. Read the Bible everyday--That's God's way of talking to his children. Start with the New Testament book of Mark; ask the Lord to teach you as you read.  The Bible has power to speak to your daily life. 3. Speak to God each day in prayer--Bring your troubles and problems to God because he cares for you. Give thanks to God for all that you do. The Lord will guide you because he is committed to your new life.

Matthew 5:42-44 (The Message) Love Your Enemies

Matthew 5:42-44 (The Message)

Love Your Enemies
 38-42"Here's another old saying that deserves a second look: 'Eye for eye, tooth for tooth.' Is that going to get us anywhere? Here's what I propose: 'Don't hit back at all.' If someone strikes you, stand there and take it. If someone drags you into court and sues for the shirt off your back, giftwrap your best coat and make a present of it. And if someone takes unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life. No more tit-for-tat stuff. Live generously.

 43-47"You're familiar with the old written law, 'Love your friend,' and its unwritten companion, 'Hate your enemy.' I'm challenging that. I'm telling you to love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer, for then you are working out of your true selves, your God-created selves. This is what God does. He gives his best—the sun to warm and the rain to nourish—to everyone, regardless: the good and bad, the nice and nasty. If all you do is love the lovable, do you expect a bonus? Anybody can do that. If you simply say hello to those who greet you, do you expect a medal? Any run-of-the-mill sinner does that.
