How Can We Inherit Eternal Life

[OneJack]

Matthew 19:16. And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?

21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

Question: In our time today, how can our souls be saved? What must we do to inherit Eternal Life with the Lord in Paradise in due time?

When the Lord speaks, the listeners can hear the words emanating from His mouth, okay? Simple Simon says simple things to be understood instantly in a simple manner.

TO EMANATE ? But To EMANATE means to come out of, flow from, or originate from a specific source

Do you mean the words STARTED in his mouth but left his moutn and came out ? If so, after they CAME OUT of his mouth, wouldn't his words then exist OUTside of his mouth? If so my question is

Are not the words that came out of (emanate) his mouth now somewhere else ?

First, the words of Jesus are always in His mouth, not anywhere else.

We only hear the words that God utters, we can’t see where they go, what shape and image they are made of, how they come out of God’s mouth, etc., etc.

So you say (to quote you verbatim) "they go" , where do they go? If "they go" this implies the leave their point of origin. So my question is

When the words "go" (invisibly) do they go out of his mouth? Or do we have to go inside the Lord's mouth to hear them?

Read my response carefully; the answer is there.

I see now what you are saying .... thank you.

Question if I may,

Who were you intimidated by?

Could you rephrase your question? Can't quite get your point, please?

From your quote:

Who are you intimidated by?

Ah, okay. That’s the Lord’s question to the readers to whom He addresses His present-day utterance about Himself, not to me alone. My response now to the Lord is that I fear no one but the Lord Jesus Christ.

But who were you intimidated by?

DearmOne Jack,

Christ answered your question in verse 17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

So "eternal Life" is not inherited, it is earned by keeping the commandments, repenting of all our sins and relying on the atonement of Jesus Christas the only mediator between us and God the Father.

Most people speak of "eternal life" with very limited concept of what that totally means. Let us hear your complete definition of what that actually means.

Let’s read what the Lord Jesus said to the rich young ruler.

16 Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?”

17 “Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”

18 “Which ones?” he inquired.

Jesus replied, “‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, 19 honor your father and mother,’[c] and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’[d]”

20 “All these I have kept,” the young man said. “What do I still lack?”

21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

The final words of the Lord Jesus matter most in this issue, since they are what Jesus requires of all of us to attain life eternal (John 5:39-40; Matt 11:28-29).

Are you saying you believe we can read the words that the Lord said to the young ruler in the bible ? What the Lord said is written for us to read in the bible?

Please confirm that is what you are trying to communicate.
