The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

No. But I have asked the Son to forgive me and wash away all my sins... for making it necesary that He come and die a gruesome death to atone for sin - mine and yours; to help my lingering unbelief; to SAVE me from my sinful human nature, the the wrath to come and eternal damnation. I begged Him to accept me as one of His own. Because I have come to genuine repentance and genuine saving faith, I know that God has elected me from eternity past and has appointed for me an inheritance among His people:
1) Justification - all the elect are given a right legal standing before God
2) Sanctification: all the elect are empowered to holy living
3) Adoption: all the elect are members of God’s family
4) Communion with God (Psalms 65:4; 1 Cor. 1:9).
5) Perseverance: all the elect remain saved (Jn. 10: 27 - 29)
6) Resurrection: all the elect will be raised up (Jn. 6:38 - 40).
7) Glorification (Romans 8:30; 2 Thessalonians 2:13, 14).
8) Eternal Life (Jn. 17:2).

Asking the Son of God for eternal life is like asking the Son of the Tooth Fairy for twenty bucks.

Before I make my token sarcastic answer, I have to ask what you want to get out of a question like this? Seems to have no point to me except to preach another set of unconvincing arguments telling us to selfishly convert to Christianity. Yes, selfishly. If you're converting to gain eternal life, that's clearly selfish motivation. You haven't even mentioned anything about serving.
Ok, as promised:
Oh dear lord, I almost forgot. I'll make sure to put it on my to do list.

Nope. Couldn't get through that darn computer menu.
For Methodist, press 1.
For Baptist, press 2.
Catholic, press 3.
Presbyterian, 4.
Lutheran, 5.
Pentecostal, 666.
You get the idea.

No. God has no son.
Your forefathers have intentionally manipulated the Gospel and elevated Jesus to the level of Son of God.
If you want eternal life, you should as God to give it to you...He's in control of that department!

Great question!
Please consider these tidbits:
Jews for Jesus = Vegetarians for Hamburgers
God? He or She?
Church? Christianity? Jesus? Dying?
What is the Imacculate Conception supposed to mean?
Does Imacculate Conception have anything to do with "VIRGIN BIRTH"?
Google Imacculate Conception and learn that is NOT.
What else do you falsely believe?
Jesus, the basis of Christianity? .
If Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.
Can Gods die?
If Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed?
Did Jesus give up Saturday for us?
No Eternal sacrifice, big deal for a day!
If Jesus died for our sins, there should not be any more sins, else why go through with it?.
If Jesus really DIED, he should be dead, dead, dead!
Life after death is like virginity after childbirth.
If the flesh of Jesus died, what was seen walking and talking on Sunday?
If you believe this stuff, you are not going to like the folks who don't. You want them to believe it too to validate you.
Christians want everyone to convert to their non-thinking in order to be 'saved'.
Believing and not thinking is like choosing to be lost.
P.S.

Daily, I work on my sins to be covered. Daily, I walk with Christ, Daily, I sing praises to his Name,
And Daily, I walk by faith and not by sight, Daily I read the word to renew my mind,
Daily I kill my flesh and to walk in the Spirit.
What would it profit a man if he should gain the whole world and lose his soul, and what would a man give in exchange for his soul?

Have you asked if God so loved the world, why didn't he just approach us directly? Why was it necessary to torture and destroy what he says himself is without sin? If we were so loved and so worth the sacrifice, why didn't he just take care of it himself?

I have asked for forgiveness.
Eternal life is a reward ~ so to speak ~ for repenting and choosing to live Godly.
