"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." - John 3:16-17

Can you imagine living forever in a perfect world?

What if someone told you that you could live in a perfect universe for all of eternity? Picture what your life would look like if you knew you would live for an eternity in perfection. What would change in your day-to-day life with this new and unending future? How would your life change? Would the things that stress you out today matter as much as they did before?

The life-changing truth is that we all have the opportunity to have eternal life in a perfect universe. By reading on, you'll learn how you and your loved ones can claim eternal life.

How Eternal Life is Possible

There's a creator of a perfect universe, known as God who sent His son named Jesus to save people from our broken universe about 2,000 years ago. One of the most well known Bible verses quoted, John 3:16, summarizes this truth.

Jesus lived on earth for 33 years. During that time, Jesus spread news about God's invitation for all humanity to spend eternity with Him in perfection. Many people were offended when hearing this news because they rejected the fact that Jesus was God's son. They eventually killed Jesus for spreading this good news. However, they did not understand that killing Jesus was a part of God's plan. Jesus allowed people to kill him so he could come back to life and show the world that he really was the son of God - and that God is greater than death itself.

Jesus came back to life three days after being murdered and continued to spread the news of God's invitation. He also prepared some of his closest followers to continue spreading the news during this same time. Once 40 days passed, Jesus went up into the skies to Heaven.

How to Claim Eternal Life for Yourself

Eternal life is an offer to all who accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. There is no other way to receive this invitation but through the one who secured it for us. Once you have accepted Jesus as the Lord of your life, you will be given eternal life and many other incredible gifts as you continue to grow your relationship with him.

How to Know if God and Jesus are Real

People don't know if Jesus is real because they don't look for him on their own.

Our broken world won't tell you everything you need to know. The broken world we live in will lead you in the wrong direction. So, securing your soul's eternity is best based on your own search for truth. The great news is you won't have to search long before you find Jesus, God, and the truth about our universe.

God has told the world that He will reveal Himself to those who look for Him. All you have to do to meet the universe's Creator is look for His Son.

Where You Can Start Looking for Jesus

Start with an open heart and mind to learning all there is to know. Forget about what you've heard and all of your assumptions. From there, you can look in many different places for Jesus! He is everywhere.

Some great places to start:

Pray to God with an open mind and heart, and ask Him to reveal Himself to you so that you can follow Jesus Christ to eternal life.
Read the Bible. It can open your spirit up to new revelations.
Do your research! You can align historical events with those in the Bible with archeological proof.
Check out some apologetic organizations. These organizations focus on showing how science and the world we live in today prove the accounts found in the Bible.

Our world is broken, and everything from it will cease to exist one day. But you, your family and your friends don't have to. Look for Jesus yourself, and you will find Him and eternal life.
