People have been arguing with God all down through history. Even argued with Jesus the Messiah! I love this true story:
25 Just then a religion scholar stood up with a question to test Jesus.
“Teacher, what do I need to do to get eternal life?”
26 He [Jesus] answered, “What’s written in God’s Law?
How do you interpret it?”
27 He [scholar] said, “That you love the Lord your God
with all your passion and prayer and muscle and intelligence—
and that you love your neighbor as well as you do yourself.”
28 “Good answer!” said Jesus. “Do it and you’ll live.”
29 Looking for a loophole, he [scholar] asked,
“And just how would you define ‘neighbor’?”
– Luke 10:25-29
“Good answer! Do it and you’ll live.”
“What do I need to do to get eternal life?”
Jesus’ answer: “Do it.”
Jesus approved this answer to the question: “What we must do to “get eternal life” :
“That you love the Lord your God
with all your passion and prayer and muscle and intelligence—
and that you love your neighbor as well as you do yourself.”
– Luke 10:25-29
Jesus is “the Lord your God“. Love Him with all you are. Love Him beyond all else. “Do it.” That is what you “need to do to get eternal life”. Simple. But so few are on that narrow road.
“Do it and you’ll live.”
