According to Christian belief, the way to enter God's eternal life is through faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Savior of humanity. This faith involves believing in Jesus' death and resurrection for the forgiveness of sins and accepting Him as Lord and Savior. By repenting of our sins, asking for forgiveness, and committing our lives to following Jesus, we can receive the gift of eternal life and be reconciled to God. This relationship with God is not based on our own good works or efforts, but on God's grace and love for us.
