Subject: What do we need to know about God |
Bible Note: Dear Jamison, Please note the scriptures you cited DO NOT say you will inherit ETERNAL LIFE by doing such and such. They say: "...you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." (Luke 18:22) "...and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." (Mark 20:21) "...and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." (Mat 19:21) The context of the scripture is that Jesus was refuting the mindset of the young man who asked "...what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?". He hoped to obtain eternal life or salvation through good work, which in contrast to the doctrines of Grace and salvation through faith alone. Observe that Jesus told him to "follow me". Did the 12 apostles sell what they have before they follow Christ? No. They just follow Him determinedly. Read Roman 10:9-10. Shalom Azure |
