Faith and Eternal Life

It is among the most fundamental Christian doctrines that eternal life is gained through faith in Jesus Christ. This is among the most familiar things for us to hear. The most-memorized verse in the Bible is this:

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

So, as we study through the writings of our Lord's apostle Paul, to hear Paul mention faith and eternal life together is no surprise.
