Bible Question: Could a person have eternal life by perfectly keeping the law of God (Luke 10:25-28)? |
Bible Answer: I think it depended on where there heart was. I take it this was in the time before Christ. If they followed the verses quoted by Jesus they could. Abraham was saved, again not by works, but by faith. He loved the Lord. By just keeping the Law, no. Even if they didn't keep the law with all it's little add-ons, if they truly loved the Lord, tried to live by the law, then, yes. Debbie |
