Our Eternal Life.

11. Our Eternal Life.

Eternal life is a free gift, bought and paid for by the death, burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, and received by faith.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God." NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)

God does not give you the faith to believe with. He gives you the evidence of the death and Resurrection of Christ. Therefore, it becomes your responsibility to believe or not believe. You are totally responsible for your own choice. John 3:36 gives the verdict for both choices:

"He that believeth on the Son hath EVERLASTING LIFE: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; BUT THE WRATH OF GOD ABIDETH ON HIM."

"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." (Romans 5:1 )
