I have taken a number of paths in my life in search of ...



It takes a master of the knowledge of the whole counsel of the Word of God in order to know what a particular verse in it says or to be able to share information about a particular subject in it. Unfortunately, in my lifetime approaching 75 years, I have neither met nor heard of anyone who has done that. So anyone who has spoken to me so far about such things as how to have eternal life, cannot know what he is talking about and condemns himself to destruction for his arrogance before God. Or maybe it is just as simple as reading it the way anything should be read: in accordance with the normative rules of language, context and logic – honestly: A moment of faith alone in Christ alone + nothing and you become an eternal child of God. Can it be that simple?

1) HERE IS PART OF WHAT I HAVE PERSONALLY VERIFIED AS TRUE THRU HONEST READING

a) Jesus Christ actually died on the cross 2,000 years ago to pay the penalty for the sins of the whole world –that includes you and me:

[1 Jn 2:2]:

"He [Christ] is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world."

b) The key is that whoever believes in Jesus Christ to save oneself, at that moment enters a state of never perishing but having possession of everlasting life:

[Jn 3:16]:

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him, shall not perish but have everlasting life."

c) Thus the new life of the Christian: the one who has expressed a moment of trust in Christ to receive the free gift of everlasting life has a grand purpose, an eternal one – an absolutely assured one of being with God for all eternity. It is a new life begun immediately on earth and directed by God from inside you –

a life one can look forward to with excitement and fulfillment as one has confidence that one is serving the Lord God at the moment one accepts by a moment of faith our Lord’s sacrifice for them on the cross for all of their sins unto eternal life. For by God’s personal and irrevocable Seal actually placed inside of you when you believe, He has absolutely promised that your eternal destiny is with Him no matter what:

[Eph 1:13-14]:

"And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in Him with a Seal, the promised Holy Spirit Who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance [of eternal life] until the redemption of those who are God’s possession – to the praise of His glory."
