• By seeking non-violent solutions to the evils of the world 'If you live by the sword, you'll die by the sword' which means if you live by using violence against others you will die with violence
• By promoting, as a minister, Religious teachings from Jesus that we are to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness'- which means to make the kingdom of God and that our first and greatest priority in life is God.
• These things begin, and you participate in them when you confess your sins to God, truly sorry for offending His love for you, and ask His forgiveness. He will! Turn from your sins and turn *to* God, proving your repentance is real, in faith trusting Jesus took the punishment on a cross your sins deserved. He delights in forgiving all who ask, as often as they ask, even empowering you with His Holy Spirit to do what He commands. Otherwise, if you lose eternal life, it will have been by your own choosing. He made the way for your sins to be forgiven.
