At this point there is no turning back *), but everything that a person has had the opportunity to do in his life has either been done or left undone.
A memory from almost 10 years ago
I once arrived in TYKS (Turku University Central Hospital) in the car of a believing brother to the bedside of another dying believing man. In the car, I said in my heart to Adonai Yeshua that if he is already dead, then only in that case will I raise him from the dead if I see in the vision that you will do it before **). He had died just 1 min before we got there.
**) John 5:19 >>So Yeshua answered them, "I tell you the solemn truth, the Son can do nothing on his own initiative, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, the Son does likewise."<<
Life is the greatest of earthly gifts
Still, few know how to give it enough value and thank their Creator, from whom they have received it as a gift. Generally, only believers in Adonai Yeshua realize the true value of their earthly life compared to eternal life and strive to live accordingly.
This world is also like a greenhouse where we humans are seedlings planted by our Creator. In one spiritual song it is said: "I am a seedling in your garden and created for heaven. In your gracious protection from my birth I was favored." He is always watching us from above from his holy abode. Psalm 33:13-15
*) Still, there is a very small but real chance that some graced believer will raise the already dead from the dead, but that happens very rarely. I have read that a Finnish missionary, Toimi Yrjölä, brought the dead back to life in three different cases while working in South Asia.
However, Adonai Yeshua gave his chosen disciples a command for that too: Matt. 10:8
>>Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. You have received as a gift, give as a gift!<<

I watched in the Spirit to see if I could see Adonai Yeshua raising him from the dead in a vision. I didn't see such a revelation, so I just read some words of comfort from the Bible to his children who were there, and at the request of the hospital chaplain, I agreed to handle all the funeral speeches and the ceremony at the man's funeral, because he had already left the ev.lut. church years ago.

We are called to abandon all our own wishes, dreams, plans and preferences, and to follow Adonai Yeshua, the giver of our earthly and eternal life. It is important to realize that this world is only a temporary transit place for us. Yeshua taught in Luke 9:23-26
>>23 Then he said to them all, "If anyone wants to become my follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.
>>23 Then he said to them all, "If anyone wants to become my follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.
25 For what does it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but loses or forfeits himself? 26 For whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.<<
This world is also like a greenhouse where we humans are seedlings planted by our Creator. In one spiritual song it is said: "I am a seedling in your garden and created for heaven. In your gracious protection from my birth I was favored." He is always watching us from above from his holy abode. Psalm 33:13-15
>>13 The YHWH watches from heaven; he sees all people. 14 From the place where he lives he looks carefully at all the earth's inhabitants. 15 He is the one who forms every human heart, and takes note of all their actions.<<
The reason our Creator is watching us is not just because he is curious, but because he is testing us to see if we are worthy to receive eternal life as well. Luke 20:35
>>But those who are regarded as worthy to share in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.<<
Our creator could feed, clothe and heal all the people in the world in an instant and if he wanted to move all the people to a much bigger and better planet than planet earth! But he tests us as individuals to see which of us love our fellow sufferers and he makes a choice based on that. That is, the choice of which of us he allows to pass into the glory of heaven. The rest of us he transfers to perdition out of his sight.
He also gives food and life to billions of spirit beings. We find the reason for humanity's depraved state in the story of the Fall in Paradise.
Eternal life is the most precious gift
Since the giver of it is also our Creator, how grateful we should be to him and always strive to please him! This is what he says about it in Ps. 50:23
>>Whoever offers thanks glorifies Me; and he who prepares a way, I will show the salvation of Elohim to him.<< The word 'salvation' in the verse refers to our Savior, because his Hebrew name 'Yeshua' means 'Salvation'.
How should we thank our Creator?
Adonai Yeshua taught the Samaritan woman at the Sykar well: John 4:21-24
>>21 Yeshua said to her, "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You people worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, because salvation is from the Jews.
23 But a time is coming - and now is here - when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such people to be his worshipers. 24 Elohim is spirit, and the people who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."<<
Conditions for receiving eternal life
The absolute condition is to believe that our heavenly Father gave his own beloved, only-begotten Son as a sin offering and atonement to suffer and die sinless on the cross of Calvary as a vicarious sacrifice for our sins, and that he raised his Son from the dead on the 3rd day after the crucifixion.
When we believe in that, we must confess our sins, repent in our lives and go to the baptism of believers by immersing in water in the name of Yeshua HaMashiach for the forgiveness of our sins. This is what Adonai Yeshua taught saying: Mark 16:16
>>The one who believes and is baptized will be saved, but the one who does not believe will be condemned.<<
The following act mentioned in the Tanakh too is also necessary for our salvation: Romans 10:9-10
>>9 because if you confess with your mouth that Yeshua is Adonai and believe in your heart that Elohim raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and thus has righteousness and with the mouth one confesses and thus has salvation.<<
