Only Jesus Offers Eternal Life Read | John 14:6 Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If you’re wondering, How can I have eternal life? There is only one answer: through faith in Jesus Christ. The great tragedy is that many have heard the gospel and rejected it. Some are like the rich ruler who placed his trust in material possessions and turned his back on the truth. Others have refused to even listen. Others still are convinced they are heaven-bound, based on the erroneous confidence in a man-made religion and its false doctrines or their own good deeds. But only those who have entered into a relationship with Jesus through faith in Him will be welcomed into heaven. The truth is we all have a sin debt that we owe to God but no way to pay for it. None of our solutions—living a moral life, being religious, or doing more good deeds—can take care of our problem. But God Himself has provided the solution-one that both satisfies His justice and grants us mercy. He sent His Son to pay the penalty we owed. In dying for us, Christ secured our salvation by paying the debt for all our past, present, and future sins. When we trust in Jesus and surrender our life to Him, He becomes our personal Saviour and Lord. We should pray that many who are separated from the Lord will trust in the Saviour and gain everlasting life. We have an Enemy who actively seeks to blind people to this truth (2 Cor. 4:4).
