Eternal Life

If you were to die tonight,
do you know with absolute certainty
where you would be when you awakened?

You can know with absolute certainty!

The Bible says …

	For G-d so loved the world that He gave His only and unique Son, so that everyone who trusts in Him may have eternal life, instead of being utterly destroyed. (John 3:16)
	I have written you these things so that you may know that you have eternal life—you who keep trusting in the Person and power of the Son of G-d. (1 John 5:13)
	REALIZE THAT NO ONE IS GOOD ENOUGH TO GO TO HEAVEN
	As the Tanakh puts it, “There is no one righteous, not even one!” (Romans 3:10)
	SEE YOURSELF AS A SINNER
	… all have sinned, and come short of earning G-d’s praise. (Romans 3:23)
	UNDERSTAND WHERE SIN CAME FROM
	Here is how it works: it was through one individual that sin entered the world, and through sin, death; and in this way death passed through to the whole human race, inasmuch as everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12)
	NOTICE G-D‘S PENALTY FOR SIN
	For what one earns from sin is death; but eternal life is what one receives as a free gift from G-d, in union with the Messiah Yeshua, our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
	REALIZE THAT MASHIACH (CHRIST) DIED FOR YOU
	But G-d demonstrates His own love for us in that the Messiah died on our behalf while we were yet sinners. (Romans 5:8)
	TAKE G-D AT HIS WORD
	Everyone who calls on the name of ADONAI will be delivered. (Romans 10:13)

Take G-d at His word, and claim His promise for your Eternal Life today!

For what does the Tanakh say?
“Avraham put his trust in G-d, and it was
credited to his account as righteousness”
(Romans 4:3)

“Trust in the Lord Yeshua,
and you will be saved, …”
(Acts 16:31a)

The promises of the Bible are pretty incredible. So incredible, in fact, that even most religious people either don’t understand or don’t believe them. That’s simply because most religious people fail to recognize a terribly important fact: True Biblical Faith is not a religion.

Yes, you read that correctly. I said, “True Biblical Faith is not a religion.” All of the religions in the world (including many “Christian denominations”) have one thing in common. They are all about one thing: “What can I do so G-d (or the gods) won’t be angry and punish me?”

That is exactly why I say that true Biblical Faith is not a religion. True Biblical Faith, when correctly understood, is not about what we can do for G-d, but rather it is all about how much G-d loves us, how much He has done for us, and how we respond to His great love.

How much G-d loves you

Here is how it works: it was through one individual that sin entered the world, and through sin, death; and in this way death passed through to the whole human race, inasmuch as everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12)

As the Tanakh (the Hebrew Bible) puts it, “There is no one righteous, not even one!” (Romans 3:10)

… all have sinned, and come short of earning G-d’s praise. (Romans 3:23)

We all, like sheep, went astray; we turned, each one, to his own way; yet ADONAI (God) laid on Him (Yeshua) the guilt of all of us. (Isaiah 53:6)

But G-d demonstrates His own love for us in that the Messiah died on our behalf while we were yet sinners. (Romans 5:8)

For G-d so loved the world that He gave His only and unique Son, so that everyone who trusts in Him Him may have eternal life, instead of being utterly destroyed. (John 3:16)

How much G-d has done for you

… G-d’s love for us has already been poured out in our hearts through the Ruach HaKodesh [Holy Spirit] Who has been given to us. For while we were still helpless, at the right time the Messiah died on behalf of ungodly people. Now it is a rare event when someone give up his life even for the sake of somebody righteous man, although possibly for a truly good person one might have the courage to die. But G-d demonstrates His own love for us in that the Messiah died on our behalf while we were still sinners. Therefore, since we have now come to be considered righteous by means of his bloody sacrificial death, how much more will we be delivered through Him from the anger of G-d’s judgment! For if we were reconciled with G-d through his Son’s death when we were enemies, how much more will we be delivered by his life, now that we are reconciled! And not only will we be delivered in the future, but we are boasting about G-d right now, because He has acted through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, through Whom we have already received the reconciliation. (Romans 5:5-11)

For what one earns from sin is death; but eternal life is what one receives as a free gift from G-d, in union with the Messiah Yeshua, our Lord. (Romans 6:23)

For G-d so loved the world that He gave His only and unique Son, so that everyone who trusts in Him may have eternal life, instead of being utterly destroyed. (John 3:16)

How you respond to G-d’s great love

For G-d so loved the world that He gave His only and unique Son, so that everyone who trusts in Him may have eternal life, instead of being utterly destroyed. (John 3:16)

Everyone who calls on the name of ADONAI will be delivered. (Romans 10:13)

For what does the Tanakh say? “Avraham put his trust in G-d, and it was credited to his account as righteousness” (Romans 4:3)

“Trust in the Lord Yeshua, and you will be saved, …” (Acts 16:31a)

What, then, does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”— that is, the word about trust which we proclaim, namely, that if you acknowledge publicly with your mouth that Yeshua) is Lord (ADONAI) and trust in your heart that G-d raised Him from the dead, you will be delivered. For with the heart one goes on trusting and thus continues toward righteousness, while with the mouth one keeps on making public acknowledgement and thus continues toward deliverance. For the passage quoted says that everyone who rests his trust on Him will not be humiliated. (Romans 10:8-11)

For G-d’s wisdom ordained that the world, using its own wisdom, would not come to know Him. Therefore G-d decided to use the “nonsense” of what we proclaim as His means of saving those who come to trust in it. (1 Corinthians 1:21)

But this is precisely why I received mercy—so that in me, as the number one sinner, Yeshua the Messiah might demonstrate how very patient He is, as an example to those who would later come to trust in Him and thereby have eternal life. (1 Timothy 1:16)

And without trusting, it is impossible to be well pleasing to G-d, because whoever approaches Him must trust that He does exist and that He becomes a Rewarder to those who seek Him out. (Messianic Jews [Hebrews] 11:6)

Rejoice in this, even though for a little while you may have to experience grief in various trials. Even gold is tested for genuineness in fire. The purpose of these trials is so that your trust’s genuineness, which is far more valuable than perishable gold, will be judged worthy of praise, glory, and honor at the revealing of Yeshua the Messiah. Without having seen Him, you love Him. Without seeing Him now, but trusting in Him, you continue to be full of the joy that is glorious beyond words. And you are receiving what your trust is aiming at, namely, your deliverance. (1 Kefa [Peter] 1:6-9)

I have written you these things so that you may know that you have eternal life—you who keep trusting in the Person and power of the Son of G-d. (1 John 5:13)

If you believe right now with all your heart that Yeshua of Nazareth [Jesus] is Israel’s Messiah, the eternal Son of G-d (ADONAI Himself come in the flesh), and that He loved you so very much that He offered Himself as the perfect and complete sacrifice for the payment of your entire debt of sin (all your sin—past, present, and future), then you will trust Him (and Him alone) to save you from the wrath of G-d and give you the free gift of eternal life.

If this is true of you, then you can know with absolute certainty that right now—not some day in the future, but this very minute—you have, as your permanent possession, G-d’s gift of eternal life, and that you can never lose that gift, nor can it ever be taken from you.

How can I say that with such certainty? Because Yeshua HaMashiach [Jesus the Messiah] said it, Yeshua HaMashiach is G-d [ADONAI, the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob] Who has come in the flesh, and G-d cannot lie. Just look at the promise from Yeshua’s own lips: “For G-d so loved the world that He gave His only and unique Son, so that everyone who trusts in Him Him may have eternal life …” (John 3:16).

Now ask yourself this simple question: “How long does eternal life last?” Ten minutes? Twenty years? Until the next time I sin? Until my faith waivers? Until I stop believing? Until I get tired of being a Believer and decide to quit? Until I decide give the gift back to G-d?

My dear friend, listen to me very carefully! If at any single instant of your life you have eternal life, and any time after that very instant you no longer have have eternal life, the only possible explanation is that somehow your eternal life came to an end — that which was eternal ceased to be eternal — an absolute impossibility! Anything that is eternal can never end, and anything that can ever end was never eternal in the first place! Don’t let anybody deceive you: the only way that it is possible for you to ever lose your eternal life is if you never had it!

Yeshua said that if would trust Him as your Savior you would have eternal life. Satan said, “Has G-d really said …?” (Genesis 3:1) Who are you going to trust, Satan or G-d Himself?
