Who would not shudder if he were given the choice of eternal death or life again as a child ? Who would not choose to die ?

God's salvation does not come in response to a changed life. A changed life comes in response to the salvation, offered as a free gift.

At this time of Christmas, this season when gifts are given, let us not forget that God gave His Son, and His Son gave His life, that each of us might have the gift of eternal life.

The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life.

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

A great name for a new country song: If I'd Shot You Sooner, I'd Be Out of Jail by Now.

I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.

The way of transgressors is hard.

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

It was the special purpose of Christ's appearance upon earth to bring immortality to light.

Our longing for immortality is good! It was put there on purpose. We were meant - from the moment of our creation - to live forever.

Every religion in the world is about man trying to reach up to God, like working your way up the ladder. They're all about striving to achieve something for yourself. Christianity is the only religion about God reaching down to man and offering salvation as a free gift, with the added bonus of a personal relationship with the Creator God through Jesus Christ, who was there in the beginning.
