You obtain eternal life by repenting and asking Jesus to take control of your life and accepting the forgiveness of your sin by the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross for YOU. John 3:16 AnswerBy being baptised and following Christ in humility, prayer and self-denial, obeying the law of God and offering sacrifice to God and partaking of the sacrificial offering (various animal and bird offerings in the Old Testament, the Lamb of God in the New Testament, (the sacrifice of the Mass in the Catholic Church).

Others say that no one can give us eternal life.

Pertinent Bible Verses:The following verses pertain to obtaining eternal life:

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16.

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life." John 6:47.

"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.

"Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole; Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth...doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at naught of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts 4:9-12.

"For the wages of sin is death [eternal]; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23.

"For other foundation [for eternal life] can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ." 1Corinthians 3:11.

"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." 1Corinthians 6:9-11.

"For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior; that being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life." Titus 3:3-7.

According to the Bible, one gains eternal life only through trusting in Jesus Christ as the one who paid the ransom price for all the sins of mankind. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time." 1Timothy 2:5,6. "For he [God the Father] hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." 2Corinthians 5:21.

Some would maintain that there are many ways to get to heaven, but that is not founded in the writings of the Judeo-Christin Scriptures. These Scriptures, according to the Bible, have been given and preserved by God's mighty hand. "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." 2Peter 1:19,20.

Regarding preservation: " The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation forever." Psalm 12:6,7. Jesus said: "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." Matthew 5:18.

As the Scriptures claim infallibility and preservation, a search of them promises to find the way to eternal life. Jesus instructed:"Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." John 5:39. As it states in Revelation 19:10, "The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

Peter said: "For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts..." 2Peter 1:16-18.

So, Peter encouraged others to heed the Word of God to find the light of the truth about eternal life in Jesus Christ, the Day Star, indicating that He will enter into your life and change your heart. This is constantly what the Bible presents as the Way to eternal life.
