How To Have Eternal Life

Step 2:   Realize That God Loves You Deeply And Made A Way For You to Avoid Hell.

Because God loved you so much he didn’t want you to be separated from him and suffer eternally in hell (Romans 5:8).   Therefore, he came to earth in the form of the man Jesus Christ to take our punishment for us.   Jesus lived a perfectly sinless life and was crucified at the hands of wicked men.

While on the cross the sin of the world was laid on him and when he died the price of the sin was paid (remember: the price for sin is death).   He paid the price for our sin so we wouldn’t have to.   He died in our place making it possible for us to have our sins forgiven and enter into the presence of God (eternal life) when we die (Romans 6:23b).   Three days after his death he rose from the grave and was seen by hundreds of people for the next 40 days before he ascended into heaven.
