Eternal Life

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 6:23 NKJV

If death is imminent because of my sinful nature, then to escape death toward life is only possible with Jesus Christ. Therefore, I must realize that my pursuit of life is futile unless I render my life for Christ's sake. The Apostle Paul restates this concept in Philippians 1:21, For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. In other words, while I am alive, I am all about Christ as His change Agent. When I am dead, then I am His prize. How can I lose because He removed the penalty of sin in exchange for eternal life only when I submit to Him? So then, my transition from this life to the next life is a faultless process that emulates Jesus' resurrection and ascension.
