John 6:54
Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
Ours is not to cling to the life on this temporal plane - but to live it in emulation of Him
John 12:25
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
As Paul said
Rom 2:6
the just judgment of God, 6 who will repay everyone according to his works:[a] 7 eternal life to those who seek glory, honor, and immortality through perseverance in good works,
and 1 Tim 6:18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
Love, faith, endurance, eating of His body as He said. And as Paul said in Rom 2 God will repay everyone according to his works
Well I just let Him live His life through me.....
For through the law I died to the law so that I might live to God. As is written....I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
