How to have eternal life

We can have eternal life in one way, and what is that way? Converting ourselves to Christ and leaving everything that is not pleasing to God, following His commandments and fulfilling them above any obstacle.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 14:6

When we leave everything behind and cling to the faith that is in the Lord, all things will be made new because we left behind everything that prevented us from following the Lord. Everyone who comes to Christ passes from death to life.

Because that is what His holy word says, that He is the way, the truth and the life, but if we deny Him we will have nothing, because there is no other in which we can trust and be saved, He is our salvation and in Him we must trust every day.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

John 5:24

As we believe we must also trust in the Lord, He is our helper and strength, it is good that we believe His word every day, just as this man named John advised us to seek God, that we believe only Him because if we believe in Him will have eternal life, and there will not come condemnation to us, and this is the reason why we should look for Him, because if we do this we will pass from death to life.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

John 5:25

Do not ignore these words, but we must believe in the promise of the Lord, because He promises and He fulfills, remember He is eternal life, do not faint because the day of the Lord in your life will come, where you will hear His voice and you will rise from between the deads.

Speaking of eternal life is speaking of the greatest gift that God has offered to humanity. It is not something that can be bought, negotiated, or earned by our own strength. It is a gift that comes directly from the heart of God and is received only through faith in Jesus Christ. For this reason, the call to come to Christ is an invitation full of love, an invitation to leave the darkness and embrace the marvelous light that He offers to all who believe.

Many people walk through life searching for meaning, security, or peace, trying different paths that promise happiness but end up leaving the heart empty. However, the Scriptures remind us that there is only one path that truly leads to life, and that path is Jesus. When He declares that He is the way, the truth, and the life, He is not offering an option among many, but the only door through which the soul can find reconciliation with the Father.

Coming to Christ requires surrender, humility, and a genuine desire to walk according to His will. It means allowing Him to shape our character, correct our steps, and strengthen us when we feel weak. And although this path is sometimes filled with challenges, it is also full of grace, because God Himself sustains those who trust in Him.

The promise of passing from death to life is not only for the future but also a present reality. The moment a person believes in Christ, spiritual life begins. The old things pass away, and a new creation emerges. This transformation is the evidence of God’s power working within the believer, guiding him daily toward a life that reflects the glory of Christ.

Eternal life is not merely living forever; it is knowing God, enjoying communion with Him, and being filled with His peace. It is waking up each day with the certainty that our steps are in His hands and that nothing can separate us from His love. And this hope strengthens us in trials, lifts us in weakness, and reminds us that our final destination is to dwell eternally in His presence.

Therefore, let us cling to these promises, trusting that the One who called us is faithful. Let us keep our hearts firm in the truth of Christ, knowing that He will complete the work He began in us. The voice of the Son of God still calls today, giving life to all who hear and believe. May our answer always be one of surrender, faith, and devotion.
