“HOW TO LIVE FOREVER,” I am reading on the front cover of the September 2005 READER’S DIGEST.

It’s all about living long and there is also a picture of one of the old men of Sardinia (Italy) on the cover. Celebrating a 100th birthday is routine on the island.

On the pages 46 and 47 you can read the secrets of living a long life and remaining young while getting old.

What are the secrets? I am reading, “Don’t Worry, Be Grumpy,” “Eat Like a Sardinian…, Sardinian food is virtually all organic,” “… And Eat 10 to 20 Per  Cent Less,” “A Glass of Mountain Wine, Sardinian wine is full of healthy polyphenols,” and “Don’t Exercise So Much.”

“HOW TO LIVE FOREVER.”

The BIBLE tells us “how to live forever.”

In the BIBLE we are reading about eternal life. In the BIBLE we are reading about the true life.

How is this TRUE life attained?The BIBLE says in John 3:15 “… everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.” John 6:40 “… everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, ….”

FIRST OF ALL THE TRUE LIFE IS ATTAINED THROUGH THE WORK OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Think about the Death of the Lord and his Resurrection.

SECONDLY THE TRUE LIEFE IS ATTAINED THROUGH THE FAITH OF THE BELIEVER.

In the book of Acts in chapter sixteen the jailer asked Paul and Silas, “‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?'” Paul and Silas replied, ”’Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved- you an your household.'”

What is eternal life? It is life in fellowship with God without end.
