Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate that we can hold different perspectives and still love the LORD Jesus Christ which we show by obedience to his commandments, especially the two greatest commandments.

And, behold, 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.

But that's not where the narrative stops, my FRiend. If you think about this for a moment, you will see what the interpreter of the law saw immediately: that he could never hope to meet the standard just set for him by Jesus.

And rather than confess, repent, and seek mercy for himself based on Jesus' offer of new birth, instead he began to try to justify himself. Though he gave another right answer to the next question, what did he do? Did he confess his sins and his spiritual blindness, and beg for forgiveness?

Come on, now, you have the answer. I gave you the key that when used, would bring that eternal life to you. The complete story is in the link to a saving summary of how to find eternal life, a presenrarion of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus.

Eternal life can be yours as a free gift from God now, if you will choose to obey God and:

1. Repent and turn to God from sin and disobedience (Acts 17:30; Lk. 18:13; 1 Thes. 1:9,10).
2. Confess your guilt of sin and ask for God's mercy (Lk. 18:13).
3. Unreservedly commit your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, believing He died for you, rose again, and ascended into Heaven to apply His blood on the Mercy Seat to clear you from all guilt (Rom. 10:9; Heb. 9:14,24-28).
4. Receive Him as your Savior and Lord of your life (Jn. 1:12; Col. 2:6).
5. Publicly and openly confess the Lord Jesus Christ before your fellow men. Tell others how he saved you (Rom. 10:9,10; Mt. 10:32,33).

Are you ready to appropriate this wonderful, free gift of God, The Lord Jesus Christ and Eternal Life NOW?

The choice is yours!

May I ask,

What is your choice?

Or is the hearer/reader just going to reject the answer and walk away as the works-oriented "lawyer" (shyster) disbeliever did. There's no riding the fence here. Is this irresponsive refuser just going to keep on trying to earn a ticket to heaven by adding to simple faith, by adding his works to the works of The Crucified One, and continuing to propagate false doctrine which blinds someone else who is desperately seeking the path to relief from the burden of sin?
