Bring Jesus into your life if you want to enjoy eternal life.

Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
Become part of God's family today. Acknowledge your sinfulness, and express your faith in these words:
"God, I have sinned against You. (Romans 3:23) I've followed my own way and refused to give You the right to rule in my life. (Romans 3:10-12) I recognize I am separated from You and cannot rescue myself. I do believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I accept the truth of the Scriptures? that His death on the cross paid my sin-debt in full. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And I ask You to forgive me of my sins. (1 John 1:9) By faith, I receive You, Lord Jesus, as my personal Savior from this moment on."
If you just spoke those words to God, then, like the thief on the cross, you have received salvation? a gift of God's grace. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!

Look at John 17:3.
You need to gain an accurate knowledge in God and in Jesus. So a lot of personal study of the Bible is involve.
But how will you know it's accurate if you have no one to guide you?
Go to your local Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses and ask someone there for a FREE Bible study. It's done on your own time, when you want, and they'll use any Bible you want.

Hope this helped!

The Egyptians believe that to be remembered is to be immortalized, for you exist in the realms of memories and dreams. So, do something great, like make a discovery, or do something rash/insane, if science isn't your Forte.
(Freud is well known for his psychology break through, as Hitler will forever be known for getting a struggling country together, then performing genocide. Both are immortal, as our grandchildren will learn about them and know them, decades, maybe centuries even, after their deaths).

Listen man. To have eternal life you need to accept Jesus Christ into your life and know that he died on the cross to save you! If you need to know more go to a local church or to a friend who's a Chrisitan.Hope this helps!

Never believe that you are going to die. You means your Soul and Mind, and NOT your body. You will continue to exist no matter whether your body exists or not. Always see yourself as a Soul-and-mind. And you will know eternity !

Accept Christ as your savior. You cannot achieve eternal life through your acts, but only by the grace of Christ crucified.
