Jesus came to free us from sin and to give us the gift of eternal life. The Bible says in John 1:12, "Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God." In John 11:25-26 we read, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
