Eternal life differs from ordinary life because it is life after the life we have now(i.e life after death).So fellows in order for you to have this eternal life you need to fear God and keep his commandments and also seek the kingdom of God.This can happen if we commit our ways to doing good and doing what pleases the almighty God.All this starts when we are still alife because once we are dead we are done for good.So this is the right time to choose whether we want that eternal life or not.
