What can we do to attain Eternal Life?
Author: Nupur KhalkhoThis is a vital question that haunts us especially in times of guilt, affliction, distress or burden. The rewards we earn are the fact/result of our acts and performance. Eternal life promises salvation, freedom from sufferings, tears and affliction of all kind.
"What must I do to receive Eternal Life?"
Luke 10:25
God is love and trusting in Him gives us strength. This strength starts residing in us and refines our thoughts, actions-interactions, personal and public relationship. Our deeds in small things start touching the life of others, brings bubbles of happiness and glitter in the eyes of many. When grace starts its work through us we get blessed and changed into a new human, a new person! It is goodness that paves our way towards attainment of salvation and Life Eternal thereafter.
God sent His only son to die on the cross for the salvation of His most precious creation. Jesus came to teach us love and save us from our sins. To lead us and bring us closer to the Almighty Father, experience His power, His caress, His unspeakable affection and mercies to receive Eternal life.
"Do not think that I have come to do away with the Law of Moses and the teachings of the Prophets. I have not come to do away with them, but to make their teachings come true."
Mathew 5:17
To receive Eternal Life we need to love the all powerful God, our loving Father with all our soul, with all our strength, with all our heart, with all our mind and body. Loving a neighbour as oneself is a teaching, a lesson, a truth that aids us in our pursuit of life that is neither a myth nor mortal but real and eternal.
We may be religious, performing all our tasks or duties concerning religion. But, is it adequate to attain salvation? To make life worth living we need to be loving and merciful to others. If we cheer, hug and embrace the needy people / strangers and extend our help like a good Samaritan when they are in dire need to be lifted, loved and helped, we testify that we are the children of God.
God's children know what they should do to attain Eternal Life. They need strength to walk in the narrow path. They need to walk upright with intellect, understanding, confidence and determination to ceaselessly walk ahead and cover the miles to reach and receive Eternal Life.
