READ 1 John 5:13 -"I write these things...so that you may KNOW that you have eternal life.

Yes...so what is your question?  Jesus mentions many times that He is the only way to Heaven and those who believe on Him shall go to Heaven...

It gives the answer to that question plainly, in many places in Scripture.  The most commonly cited one is John 3:16- "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes and trusts in Him will not die, but have eternal life."  Love God, turn away from your sins, be willing to accept the free gift of salvation through Christ, and that's all it takes.  God hands out free tickets to Heaven to anybody who asks for one, no matter what you've done in the past or how wicked you might have been.  None of that matters, because God can and will wash it all away.  All you have to do is ask Him.  That's how much He loves you.

Without sitting down and looking at all the specifics, I think I'm already doing what he commanded.  The beatitudes and golden rule are fairly good descriptions of how I live my life.  \n\nI'm highly skeptical of the supernatural claims of Christianity, but I agree wholeheartedly that Jesus was a wise man with very good ideas.\n\nEDIT:\nJeff, the text of the KJV is styled in medieval verse (no I don't believe that the translators were divinely inspired).  The beatitudes in particular are poetic in form, and not subject to strict interpretation.  By saying that the poor are blessed, Jesus identified with their suffering and said that it would be recognized.  The beatitudes as a whole are an exhortation to live well and love one another, with specific examples.  They are an example of how the world could be if we lived in peace: a beautiful concept and one I attempt to live.  (Occasionally I succeed, though not often).\n\nAs far as dying in order to live (I assume that you're referring to John 12:24), I've already stated that I'm skeptical about the supernatural aspects of Christianity.  I'm sure that Jesus and I differ on many matters of religion and theology.  That doesn't change how I feel about his philosophical and social ideas.  He's not my savior, but he's a very good example to the world.  I don't worship him, but I'd definitely buy him a beer and listen to what he had to say.\n\nHonestly, I'd probably do the same for you, if we ever met.

I am Praying. Christ said in Matthew 9:22: "Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole." 9:20:"He was speaking the woman which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: 9:21:"For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole." 9:22: "But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy Faith hath made thee whole." And the woman was made whole from that hour."\nPrayer is the way we touch Jesus Christ, therefore Pray. \n\nI would recommend that that you read the King James version of the Bible. It contains the answers to your questions.\nGod the Father knew you before you we born in eternity past and when you were formed in your mother womb. We are born with a Soul that will live for eternity. We must decide as a free will agent to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior or not.\nOur decision determines whether we spend eternity in Heaven or Hell.\nI Pray that you make the right decision.\nJesus Christ Loves You.\nGod Bless you is my prayer.\nDavid

Eternal life is a synonym for heaven, which means a state of union with God.  Yes, I believe there is eternal death as well, known as hell or an eternal separation from God.

You can still be saved during the 7 years of trials and tribulations.  Also if you haven't been taught of Jesus I don't think its held against you.

1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one\n\nJesus is the Word...see John 1...."in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God".....keep going and you see that Jesus is the Word that "became flesh"... http://www.biblegateway.com

It is surely God telling you that your life is pure and to go forth and spread the word that if you accept the lord Jesus into your life, you will be blessed with extra large cheez-its for the rest of your days and eternal glory shall be yours.

The bible says that if you confess with your mouth and heart that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior you shall be saved.\n\nThe bible says that we must pick up our cross daily. In other words we must die to our personal greed and do what we are called to do, from GOD.\n\nThe great comission is to go into all of the world and share the good news. Salvation has come, thought he blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. \n\nThis is my call to share this word.\n\nIf I die today, I'll wake up in the presence of the Almighty.\nAMEN

John writes with a very Pastoral and comforting style in the Gospel and letters he wrote esp 1 Jn.  In chapters 14-17 in the Gospel he records Jesus teaching and comforting the disciples because he will be going away.\nThe Psalms also have a lot of stuff that is encouraging and comforting.\n\n\nJohn 15:11\n“These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.

Living forever is called eternal life.  This is something that God gives to all who believe Him.  It is a consequence of turning from self and turning to God.  I look forward to the end of this world and the start of "forever".

It use to be a thought of mine but then I read in the Bible that some things we will never comprehend on earth in our sinful state, some things will seem like foolishness when it comes to God. however, he reveals himself and character through his son Jesus and through is creations. We cannot comprehend eternity with our finite minds it would drive us mad - the promise is sure though that we will not die in heaven and it will be blissful and happy. Our duty here is not to explain what we have no knowlege of but what is revealed to us through the written word the Bible. All questions will be answered in heaven, just follow the Bible.

Jesus says in Matt 24 "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my word will not pass away".  The world AS WE KNOW IT may end, but a believer in Jesus will have eternal life.

Establish The Need!\n"For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." Rom 3:23 "The wages of sin is death" Rom 6:23 a. \nMan was created for fellowship with God and sin blocked that fellowship. Death resulted.\n\nHowever, God planned for this, even before creation and provided a way to reestablish the fellowship and give us life. To continue Rom 6:23 "But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ the LORD."\n\nThis salvation is for everyone. John 3:16 says "For God so the world that He gave His only Son that whoever believes on His should not perish (die) but have eternal life (be saved).\n\nThe need of salvation must be seen as repentance is necessary.\n\nOK, so what do myou do?\n1) See you are a sinner need and to repent,\n2) Realise that there is only one way to be saved,\n3) Repent, ask God for forgiveness, acknowledge Jesus as your saviour and Lord.\n\nYou'r saved!
