The Road to Eternal Life by United Church of God Pdf
Do you believe in many roads to salvation? When you think about establishing a relationship with God, what comes to mind? Do you know what the Bible reveals on this subject? Notice what Jesus Christ Himself has to say: "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day" (John 6:44) God starts this relationship process and you must choose to accept or reject His calling when offered. If you accept, you have a definite process to follow that He clearly reveals in the Bible. What is that process? 1) After God calls you, repentance is the starting point in your relationship with Him. Without repentance, you are cut off from God. 2) After you repent, your next step is water baptism, a primary principle of Jesus Christ (Hebrews 6:1-2). 3) The next step on your road to eternal life is to receive God's Holy Spirit, which comes through "laying on of hands," as described in Hebrews 6:2. If God is calling you, will you respond? Inside the Bible Study aid ebook, The Road to Eternal Life, we will examine the Scriptures and look at the steps you must take to respond to God's calling. Start your journey on the only road to eternal life and be part of the awesome future God has planned for you! Chapters in this ebook: -- Introduction: The Road to Eternal Life -- Repentance: Your First Step -- Jesus and His Apostles Affirm the Need to Obey God's Commandments -- Grace, Works and Obedience -- The Crucial Role of Faith -- Water Baptism and Laying On of Hands -- Should Children Be Baptized -- Should We Want to Be Baptized With Fire? -- Forgiveness of Sin -- Staying the Course -- We're Baptized Into a Spiritual Body Inside this Bible Study Aid ebook: "The Bible describes repentance as a profound realization of our sins and resulting sorrow that leads us to change our thoughts and actions (2 Corinthians 7:10)." "To some, the change God wants in us can appear so overwhelming that repentance and conversion to God's way of thinking seem impossible. And that's the point. Without God's help, they are impossible!" "Overcoming our habitual sins and selfish nature does not happen instantly. It is a lifelong process, often involving great effort." "The symbolic meaning of baptism, then, is profound. It represents both forgiveness of sins and newness of life in Christ." "No matter what our background or past mistakes, when we genuinely repent and are baptized, God promises complete forgiveness." "Living God's way must always remain our priority. We must continually "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness" (Matthew 6:33)."

Something in us is waiting—for what, we don’t know. Something different? Something better? For Christians, perhaps the deepest expression of what we’re waiting for is found in the phrase “eternal life.” But what is eternal life? Why do we want it? And how do we know if we have it? In Eternity Is Now in Session, bestselling author John Ortberg dispels the myth that eternal life is something way out in outer space that we can only hope to experience after we die—and that being saved is merely about meeting the minimal entrance requirements for getting into heaven. Instead, John unpacks the reality that the moment we trust Christ, we are initiated into “eternal living” with God as a here and now reality, one that will continue beyond our life on this earth. Jesus defined eternal life just once, in John 17:3: “. . . that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” The kind of “knowing God” that is eternal life is an interactive relationship, not just an affirmation of certain facts about God. Once we begin the transformative journey of truly knowing God, we can start to experience His presence, favor, and resurrection power right here on this earth—in the details, tasks, and challenges of daily, ordinary life. And as we begin to know God this way, we’ll realize each moment of our lives is a vehicle to the eternity we’ve been longing for all along.

The Strong Reasons Why Jesus Is The Only Way To Salvation by Michael Attah Onuh Pdf
When we solve complicated mathematical equations, we apply appropriate formula to be guided and to ease our work. When we travel to foreign destination, we pay heed to road signs in order to overcome complexities on the way. When this is done, we are likely to likely to our destinations safely. To drive home the point, the journey to heavenly home is not devoid of complications: there's NARROW GATE to pass through (Matt.7:13-14); there are thorns to contend with(Hosea2:6; Matt.13: 22); there are mundane influences to eschew (Rom.12: 2), among others. Hence, there is a dire need to apply the right and appropriate formula to be guided, to calculate well and be successful. Jesus is nonetheless the right, appropriate and infallible formula for those who are HEAVEN-BOUND. This is the reason why this biblical saturated piece portrayed Him as the ONLY way to salvation accessible to everyone. For "eternal life", Corrie Ten Boom Corroborates, " does not start when we get to heaven; it starts the moment we reach out to Jesus. He never turns His back on anyone; He is waiting for you". Because He is for everyone, He is accessible to all. Salvation or eternal life is not possible without Jesus Christ. Therefore, let us approach Him like the rich young man (Matt.19: 16-22) to know the preconditions needed for eternal Life. The passion of Christ atones for our sins; His death opens the gate of heaven; and by His resurrection, eternity becomes an unfailing guarantee. Hence, Jesus is the only way. However, what does He anticipate from us as GATE PASS or REQUIREMENTS for eternal life? This book offers two indispensable requirements: BELIEF and REPENTANCE. One must believe the gospel messages Christ proclaimed (Matt.4:17); and nonetheless jettison old ways of living (2Corint.5:17-18). When one satisfies the above requirements, Christ comes into that person's life, live with him or her and reveal Himself and the father to that person. This is what eternal life entails: knowledge of God, the father and Jesus Christ His son. With this in view, in its preliminary page, this book simply defines eternal life thus: "knowing you, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you sent".Is knowledge of the Father possible without Christ? No. Is entry into heaven assured without Christ? No. Is repentance attainable without Christ? No. This book has more details why none of the above is realistic without Christ. Hence, the fundamental claim of this book- Christ Jesus the ONLY way to salvation. And that is why I consider it as A MANUAL FOR OUR JOURNEY TO ETERNITY; a handbook for those on heavenly race! Because of the Moral Catechesis this book offers, the exegetical teachings it unfolds and the infallible orientation it renders, this book becomes a-must- read theological hand for those who frankly desire eternal life. Finally, one other core aspect of this book one cannot undermine are the soul-redemptive-contemplative questions raised at the introductory pages of the book: "What is the essence of life"? "Why did God make us"? James Innell Packer added similar questions and proffered answers that aligned with the teaching of this book. He said: "what are we made for? To know God. What aim should we have in life? To know God. What is the eternal life that Jesus gives? To know God. What in humans gives God most pleasure? Knowledge of Himself". Additionally, where is the origin of man? God. Where is the destination of man? God (eternity with Him). Before God created the plants, He spoke to the earth ( Gen. 1: 11); before God created aquatic animals, He spoke to the sea(Gen. 1:20); but when God wanted to create Man, He spoke to Himself (Gen. 1:26...). Therefore, Man originated from God. And the ONLY way he will return to God is through Christ, as this book teaches. Therefore, Christ is the only way to salvation. What a book this is.

Over half of Americans believe in a literal heaven, in a literal hell. Most people who hold these beliefs are Christian and assume they are the age-old teachings of the Bible. Ehrman shows that eternal rewards and punishments are found nowhere in the Old Testament, and are not what Jesus or his disciples taught. He recounts the long history of the afterlife, ranging from The Epic of Gilgamesh up to the writings of Augustine, focusing especially on the teachings of Jesus and his early followers. Ehrman shows that competing views were intimately connected with the social, cultural, and historical worlds out of which they emerged. -- adapted from jacket

SOME years ago, a young man going about his business selling advertising space in one of our best magazines received a vision that changed everything about him except his name. He saw himself and his fellow men in a perspective so different that it gave him new power. He left the work he had and entered a new field where his conception of what he could do for others found remarkable outlet and scope. Here he prospered amazingly. His own account of the ways in which his new philosophy worked has a fascination which few stories of human success can equal. There is nothing so practical as idealism. Vash Young has lived his ideal, and what is more, has written this moving account of his career, giving chapter and verse for each successive experience, to show how he did it. Here is the cure for our economic ills. There has never been a time in our industrial history when right thinking was so badly needed. This little book should find its way into the hands and minds of the whole army of unemployed and unsatisfied. The only way to reorganize the world is for each of us to reorganize himself. is what Vash Young did, and immediately he found himself living and working in a very different world. If people find out what is in this book; its sales will be enormous. Every company employing salesmen should put a copy in the hands of each. Particularly insurance companies. It should be a text-book in all schools of business— all schools of every character, for that matter. It describes the only method of salesmanship that is without a flaw, that has no drawback. Its principles are as applicable to advertising as to sales Manship. The first big advertiser who puts into his advertising such a conception toward competition and humility toward his own business will sweep the markets of the country like a prairie fire.
Seeing and savouring Jesus Christ by JOHN PIPER Pdf
Who is Jesus Christ? You've never met Him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ - the divine Person revealed in the Bible - has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet. The depth and complexity of Jesus shatter our simple mental frameworks. He baffled proud scribes with his wisdom but was understood and loved by children. He calmed a raging storm with a word but would not get himself down from the cross. Look at the Jesus of the Bible. Keep your eyes open, and fill them with the portrait of Jesus in God's Word. Jesus said, "If anyone's will is to do God's will, He will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority." Ask God for the grace to do His will, and you will see the truth of His Son. John Piper has written this book in the hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else.
