How do you accept a promise? Well, you do it by faith—the only way you can accept eternal life. He offers it to you. It's a gift, and the gift is something you have to believe in the giver—not in the gift, but the giver. The Lord Jesus gives you eternal life when you trust Him as Savior because He paid the penalty of your sin. He today can offer you heaven on the basis of your faith, your trust in Him. You honor Him when you believe Him and you come His way. And therefore, the promise of life, which is in Christ Jesus, makes it clear. This is the only place you can get it, friends, and it's through Christ.
