John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

How do I get that everlasting life?

First, you must be born again. You just die to yourself, and then step into the everlasting life in and through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus who washes the old sinful life away. Once you are born again you can’t die again. When your heart stops beating you just step out into the presence of the Lord, and into your everlasting life. There will not be a break in between.

2Tim1:9-10 Jesus, ”Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,”
10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.”

John11:24-26 Martha “said unto Him, I know that he Lazars shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

25 Jesus said unto her, “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live”.

26 ”And whosoever lives and believeth in Me shall never die. Believe thou this?” If you are at that age, and a child of God this should be good news.

John 3:1-3 ”There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews”.

2 The same came to Jesus by night and said unto Him, “Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God; for no man can do these miracles that You do, unless God be with Him.”

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, “Verily, verily I say unto thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.” CAN you and WILL you see the Kingdom of God?

Then He explains that the kingdom is like the wind. When you’re in the kingdom your spirit comes alive, and can be led like the wind. God’s Spirit will not lead the unrepentant sinner.

John 3:18 “He that believeth in Him is not condemned; but He that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

No one ever goes to hell for sinning. Jesus paid for every sin you ever committed before he left the earth.

You only go to hell for failing to believe and act upon it.

John 3:36 ”He that believeth in the Son hath everlasting life; and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him”. THINK ABOUT THAT. If you live like the devil you will wind up with him.

Rom6:23 ”For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord”. My friend, you don’t go to hell for sinning, but for unbelief; so believe and make the transformation.

You will be mad as hell, if you wind up there because of your unbelief, and then find out that every sin you ever committed was paid for by the Lord Jesus. If you truly believe you want live in sin.
