How to inherit Eternal Life? Jesus, when “…a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, ‘Master, what shall I do to inherit [ETERNAL LIFE]?’

He said unto him, ‘What is written in the law? how readest thou?’

And he answering said, ‘Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. And he said unto him, ‘Thou hast answered right: [THIS DO, AND THOU SHALT LIVE]’” (Luke 10:25-28).

Now, the lawyer wanted to justify himself to Jesus and then asked him, “Who is my neighbour?” (Luke 10:29).

To know who is our neighbour, we must be reminded every day of our lives of the answer Jesus give to the lawyer (Luke 10:30-37).

“And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? And he said, ‘He that shewed mercy on him.’ Then said Jesus unto him, ‘Go, and do thou likewise’” (Luke 10:30-37).

Now, many people may be quick to point out that we are not under the Law because we are SAVED By Grace through Faith (Ephesians 2:8–9).

Jesus made it very clear when he said: “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:17-19).

The Apostle Paul said: “Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for [HE THAT LOVETH ANOTHER HATH FULFILLED THE LAW].

For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore [LOVE IS THE FULFILLING OF THE LAW]” (Romans 13:8-10)

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” (2 Corinthians 13:14).
