STEP 1
ETERNITY - WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
Eternity means forever.
It means that yesterday, today and tomorrow are not all there is. Eternity means that there can be life beyond the life we now live.
What do you feel is the best way to be sure we have eternal life?
The Bible says that all these things may be good in themselves, but they will never guarantee eternal life.
It may surprise you to know that good people don't necessarily have eternal life.

STEP 2
GOD'S PLAN - ETERNAL LIFE
The question now is:
“How can I be sure that I have Eternal Life?”
The problem is we have all broken God's laws and commandments and stand guilty and condemned.
However, God can forgive us and give us eternal life.
The Bible says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

STEP 3
OUR PROBLEM - SEPARATION
Sin separates people from God. We have all disobeyed God and gone our own wilful way.
The Bible says, "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
Romans 6:23 adds: "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
People have tried to bridge this separation in many ways...without success.

STEP 4
GOD'S ANSWER - THE CROSS
God's love bridges the gap of separation between God and us.
When Jesus Christ died on the Cross and rose from the grave, He paid the penalty for our sin.
In the Bible it says, “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
Jesus Christ also stated, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6

Jesus Christ also stated, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6
STEP 5
OUR RESPONSE - TO CROSS OVER
God invites us to respond to His love by crossing the bridge through trusting Jesus Christ.
It means trusting Christ's death on the cross as payment for our personal sin and trusting our lives to him as our personal Saviour and Lord.
Jesus Himself says, “I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and receives Him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; He has crossed over from death to life.” John 5:24
It means trusting Christ's death on the cross as payment for our personal sin and trusting our lives to him as our personal Saviour and Lord.
Jesus Himself says, “I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and receives Him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; He has crossed over from death to life.” John 5:24
STEP 6
GOD'S INVITATION - TO COME
Will you right now choose to cross over by taking the step of totally committing your life to Jesus Christ, making Him the Lord and Master of your life?
What to pray to receive eternal life:
“Dear God, thank you for loving me. I confess I have sinned against you. I believe that your Son Jesus Christ died on the Cross to pay for my sin and rose again from the dead. I now put my faith and trust only in Jesus Christ to forgive me and save me from the penalty of my sin. I confess Jesus as Lord. I thankfully receive your gift of eternal life. Amen.”

STEP 7
HOW TO BE SURE
When we give our lives to Christ we can be sure we have eternal life.
“And this is the testimony; God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.” 1 John 5:11-12
If you have just received Jesus Christ as Lord, then you have life - eternal life!
“And this is the testimony; God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.” 1 John 5:11-12
If you have just received Jesus Christ as Lord, then you have life - eternal life!
