099 | How can I have eternal life?

In this message by Paul Durbin, we explore Jesus’s conversation in Matthew 19 with a rich young man asking, “What must I do to get eternal life?” The young man’s story reveals two things that don’t work for achieving eternal life: our own goodness and accomplishments. Jesus redirects him—and us—toward two essential truths: eternal life is only possible through God’s provision in Jesus, and it requires total surrender to God. Working harder or being better won’t get us there. Only dependence on Jesus, coupled with surrendering our own solutions and self-reliance, brings us into eternal life with the loving God who created us.
