How do I have eternal life?
You receive eternal life by receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior. This means believing in Him as the Son of God and the Savior--the One who died for thee sins of mankind.

Eternal life is what is given to those who choose to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior. It means that we will not face eternal separation from God (eternal death or Hell), but will walk in resurrected life with Jesus in Heaven when we die. But eternal life also refers to the capacity God gives us within our hearts to know Him.

We cannot have eternal life without receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior. And we cannot really get to know God without receiving eternal life through Jesus.

Read more here in this passage in John`s Gospel.

We cannot have eternal life without being born again.

The Bible passage which refers to being born again can be seen here.

We must be born again in order to "see," perceive or enter the kingdom of God. We are first born in the flesh as human beings with a body and a soul. But in order to be born in the spirit so that the Holy Spirit can come inside us, we must be "born again." This means that we must recognize who Jesus was and is-God`s Son. And we must recognize that we need Him to be our savior and our Lord.

We need to realize that we have done wrong things (sins) and that we are far from God. Then we need to accept that Jesus died for our wrongdoings on the Cross at Calvary. Once we accept these things and believe in Jesus as God`s Son, we can invite Him into our heart to be born again.

How do I have eternal life?
Everlasting life a reward from God. It is evident throughout the Bible that the hope of servants of Jehovah has been to receive everlasting life at God’s hands. This hope has encouraged them in maintaining faithfulness. And it is not a selfish hope. The apostle writes: “Moreover, without faith it is impossible to please him well, for he that approaches God must believe that he is and that he becomes the rewarder of those earnestly seeking him.” (Heb 11:6) He is that kind of God; it is one of the qualities for which he deserves full devotion from his creatures. Immortality, incorruption, divine life. The Bible speaks of Jehovah as having immortality and incorruption. (1Ti 1:17) He has granted this first to his Son. At the time the apostle Paul wrote to Timothy, Christ was the only one who had been given immortality. (1Ti 6:16) But it is promised to others, those who become Christ’s spiritual brothers. (Ro 2:7; 1Co 15:53, 54) Also, these become partakers of “divine nature”; they share with Christ in his glory. (2Pe 1:4) Angels are spirit creatures, but they are not immortal, for those who become wicked demons will be destroyed

How do I have eternal life?
Eternal life is a promise to anyone who accepts Jesus as Lord and Savior. This is clealy stated in John 3:16. God loved the world that He gave His Son, and whoever believes in him will have everlasting life (paraphrased). It is that simple. But many have stumbled on that truth, yet it is the ONLY way God provided for a lost world to have eternal life.
