Eternal Life:
We must remember in time past
when a certain young lawyer asked Jesus, “Good Master, what shall I do to
inherit eternal life?” (Luke 18:18).
Jesus answered, “Why callest thou me good?
None is good, save one, that is, God” (Luke 18:19).
Jesus then answered saying: “Thou knowest the
commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear
false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother” (Luke 18:20). Jesus also told
to the young man saying: “But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the
commandments” (Matthew 19:17).
Jesus also told his disciples saying:“If ye
love me, keep my commandments. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them,
he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and
I will love him, and will manifest myself to him” (John 14:15, 21).
God has declared, saying: “Let thine heart
retain my words: keep my commandments, and live” (Proverbs 4:4).
