Is there a way to eternal life?
If there was, wouldn't you really want to know?
Not all roads lead to God, and by now you may have discovered life is
not as simple as you once thought. For those who are at this
crossroad, the Bible offers a new direction, one filled with purpose,
fulfillment, and acceptance. The steps are simple:
Recognize that you are a sinner.
You must admit your spiritual need: “There is none righteous, not
one.” (Romans 3:10) We can’t make excuses or blame others for our
actions. “For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of
God.” (Romans 3:23)
Recognize that Jesus Christ died on the cross for you.
“For Christ also suffered once for our sins, the just for the unjust,
that He might bring us to God…” (1 Peter 3:18) Jesus paid the price
for our sin. The Apostle Paul said, “…the life which I now live in the
flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself
for me.” (Galatians 2:20)
Repent of your sins.
The word “repent” means to change your direction. The Bible tells us,
"Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out,
so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the
Lord.” (Acts 3:19) God commands us to repent. You must be willing to
turn away from the things that displease God.
Receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
Jesus said, “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will
give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28) It is essential to come to Jesus just
as you are. Don’t try to “clean up your life” before you come to God.
Instead, receive Him and allow Him to do the cleansing. Jesus said,
“All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes
to Me I will by no means cast out.” (John 6:37)
“…If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your
heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans
10:9)
