John 5:16-30 NIV
How does one cross over from death to life? By faith alone!
"Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life." (vs: 24) There is no other way, but by faith. You cannot earn your way into eternal life.
The Jewish leaders had a problem with this. They had a problem with Jesus calling God, "My Father." They reasoned that this was blasphemy. Yet, that is the kind of intimate relationship Jesus had with our Father. Yes, He is "Our Father," too. By faith, we have eternal life as His beloved children. This is most certainly true. It is most certainly Good News!
