We can do nothing on your own to get eternal life because we are all sinners and sin deserves punishment, which is Hell.
If you truly want eternal life, here is how(Important!):
The bad news: We all have sinned (violated God's law) and fall short to the glory of God (Romans 3:23). God can not tolerate sin and will punish for it because of his holiness and justice (Isaiah 13:11). Which means that there is no one who is good, but God alone, and the wages of sin is death(Hell). (Romans 3:10-18, Romans 6:23)
The good news: The good news is that God loved us so much that he sent his son to take the punishment for our sins, so who that whoever believes in him should not go to hell but have everlasting life (John 3:16). All you need to is repent from your sins and place your faith in Jesus Christ. The moment you do that you will be forgiven from your sins and know and will be granted everlasting life into heaven. (Romans 10:13)

John 17 v 3 tells us that we need to take in accurate knowledge of Jehovah and Jesus Christ. But it is more than just knowing them. We really need to come into a relationship with them. Then by fulling doing God's will, we can hopefully, look forward to living forever.

It is easy to become a Christian. Tell God that you believe that Jesus is his Son, that you know that He died as payment for your sins, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven. Repent of your sins, and renounce Satan and all his works. Serve God and Jesus with the rest of your life. Then you will be a new creation, never to be the same again. I became a born-again Christian in 1969 and I have never regretted it for one instant.
1. Renounce Satan and all his works.
2. Confess your sins to God the Father.
3. Receive Jesus as your Savior.
4. Serve God with all of your life.
5. Live with God and Jesus forever

To obtain anything in life we must work for it. To buy a pair of shoes, we must work to get the money and buy that pair. A house, the same, etc.
To obtain God’s gift of eternal life we must work for it. How? The Bible says that we must get to know God, the only TRUE GOD, and his Son Jesus Christ, and “take in knowledge” /by reading His Word. See John 17:3: "3This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ."

Very good question that got me thinking. The only thing that l could think of is stop talking the talk, religion and the Bible etc, and start walking the walk, act more like you would expect God would act. God was not pushing their religion on other people, telling people if they don't convert that they would go to hell and things like that. That is my thoughts.

Here you go: Jesus said "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ." John 17:3

Keep His commandments and be among His sheep, then you will obtain eternal life. But you have to find the true church to be among His sheep, and be baptized into that church. Whichever church that is, I don't know, but we have to find it and keep it.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
God is only pleased with His Son and none other. Only His Son was obedient and sinless.
This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
