 The
yearning of all mankind is for everlasting life. No one wants to die,
certainly not prematurely. When faced with the coming judgment and
realizing the hopelessness of his own case, the trembling philippian
jailer cried out the question:
… "Sirs,
what must I do to be saved?" Acts
16:30
Doubtless, this is one of the most important questions ever
asked. And the answer is as important. It should be noted by every soul
on earth.
"Believe on the
Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."
verse 31
A parallel question of equal importance, was voiced by
a young man who approached Jesus and asked:
"Good Master what good thing
shall I do, that I may inherit eternal life?"
"And he [Jesus] said unto him ...
'If thou wilt enter into
life, keep the commandments.'"
Matthew 19:16-17
"
FEAR
GOD and KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: for this is the WHOLE DUTY OF MAN."
Ecclesiates
12:13
"Thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is
like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two
commandments hang all the law and the prophets."
Matthew 22:37 - 40
"Love your enemies, bless them
that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which
despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of
your Father which is in heaven."
Luke
6: 27,28
"As we
have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men,
especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Galatians 6: 10
"If
thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt
do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his
commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these
diseases upon thee."Exodus
15 : 26

"Being justified
freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom
God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to
declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past,
through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his
righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which
believeth in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law?
of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we
conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of
the law. Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles?
Yes, of the Gentiles also: Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the
circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision
through faith. Do we then make void the law through faith? God
forbid: yea, we establish the law"
Romans 3:24-31.
But
God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified
by his blood,
we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we
were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much
more, being reconciled, we shall be saved
by his life.
Romans 5:8-10

would
affirm today; it's the same truth He
attested to as he walked this earth
some 2000 years ago - an exclusive way to the Father
(John 14:6) and that man,
as a sinful creature, is in need of a
Saviour.(John
3:16-21).
