Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live” (John 11:25).
Eternal life is not the reward for living a good life or being “right believing”.
Eternal life begins when we entrust our lives to Jesus (believe), thereby honouring the Father in heaven and allowing ourselves to be transformed by the Holy Spirit.
Eternal life is a continuation of our relationship with God.
Jesus is asked what the key to eternal life is. The answer is love of God and love of neighbour (Luke 10:25-28).
