"Lay hold of eternal life"

1 Timothy 6:12(NKJV)

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 

1 Timothy 6:18-19(NKJV)

Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, 

storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

Love the sound of that.  Want to know why?  Because it puts us in control of whether we are saved or not.  We don't have to wait to be given eternal life, we can lay hold of it!

Have you laid hold of it yet?  All you have to do is ask Jesus to guide you.  "Dear Jesus…."
