ETERNAL LIFE<br />
AND HOW TO GET IT<br />
STUDY 7<br />
Scripture Portion: 1 John 5:1-13<br />

God’s Word is our only source <strong>of</strong> information about the subject <strong>of</strong> eternal life.<br />

two quite different kinds <strong>of</strong> life.<br />
See what Jesus said in -<br />
