Introduction
We know the features of our physical lives that determine they will be finite; they will die. Scripture clearly teaches that a small remnant of people with these bodies will be given new ones that cannot die. Perhaps you have imagined that these future bodies will be so "bionic" as to be unrecognizably amazing in potential. Let's not imagine that. Let's image for argument' sake that those eternal bodies are simply the ones we have now, made eternal, fully functional (and sex-less...oh, well....)

Problem
What must I do to live forever? What Changes? Christian perspective. What about our present bodies (and/or their surroundings!!) would have to change (i.e get reversed) for us to live vitally and eternally? Ignore the sexuality aspect if you can. Put together information and construct a brief list of three changes (not to exceed 100 carefully chosen words altogether) that will answer the above question. Number the (3) sentences (changes) so that they take the form of a list, not a paragraph.

1. What must I do to live forever? What Changes? Christian perspective. What about our present bodies (and/or their surroundings!!) would have to change (i.e. get reversed) for us to live vitally and eternally? Ignore the sexuality aspect if you can. Put together information and construct a brief list of three changes (not to exceed 100 carefully chosen words altogether) that will answer the above question. Number the (3) sentences (changes) so that they take the form of a list, not a paragraph.

Briefly, from a Christian perspective based on Bible evidence, we must first accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior (Holy Bible: Book of Romans) and renew our minds to the will of God (read the bible and be counselled through the Holy Spirit who lives in our heart). Our physical bodies are returned to perfection at Resurrection Day, and fully functioning. As for the earth, biblical evidence suggest that the earth is wearing out like an 'old garment' and the only reparation will come from the 'King of Kings' (Holy Bible: Revelations) when he returns to earth to set up His Eternal kingdom. So, it is actually God that does the necessary changes, which we can only try to predict with our 'finite' minds and understanding.

Let's image for argument' sake that those eternal bodies are simply the ones we have now, made eternal, fully functional (and sex-less...oh, well....)

(1) First, from a Christian perspective, we need Jesus as our Savior for eternal life.

According to God, the first criteria to eternal life is through a belief in Jesus: I am the way, the truth and the light, no one gets to the father except though me" (Jesus). We need to take certain steps to be guaranteed eternal life.
We need to confess with our lips that Jesus Christ is Lord, Believe in our hearts that God raised him from the dead" (Book of Romans) and then God's promises that "you will be saved" (Book of Romans). To be saved means that through our acceptance of these basis Christian beliefs, God promises us eternal life.

Thus, the first thing that needs to change is ...
