Mat 19:16-22 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 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. 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, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? 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. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
You, child, are a firm believer in eternal life. You walk in the ways of the Commandments. There was no errand as important as bringing salvation to man but through Me. You know though that it is not keeping the letter of the Law that saves you. It is by faith in Me and grace extended unto you that you have eternal life. My blood shed made way for you.
What you are not yet willing to do for Me brings Me grief, but not execution by the Law. If I have freely pardoned your sins, and extended to you grace until you would walk in perfection of life. Keep the Law, yes, but let Me enlarge you and teach you the way of the Spirit led life.
Do not go away sorrowful at this new thing that I have impressed upon you to do. I am asking you now to walk in fullness of eternal life. I have come to give you abundant life. My everlasting Kingdom is a journey that you have accepted and I bid you ever continue to subdue the flesh by force. Hear, My voice, beloved, and continue to strive for the strait gate and narrow way.
With Love Eternal,
Jesus
I am assured that our journey, until we reach our eternal destination, is only as good as we listen to the Good Shepherd and obey. May we all hear His voice and follow Him.

About Me
- editor
- Statement Of Faith: 1.) I believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, without error as originally given; it is the final and infallible authority in matters of faith and practice. 2.) I believe in the Trinity, one God is Three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 3.) I believe that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins, and rose bodily and literally on the third day. 4.) I believe man is by nature lost and in need of a Savior. By repenting of sin and accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior (by faith alone), we become right with God: our sins are forgiven, heaven is our home, and we will live with our Lord and other believers for ever. Good works may evidence our salvation, but we are saved by God's grace apart from our works. 5.) I believe that those who have not received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior will be separated from God and experience His judgment forever. 6.) Jesus will one day return to to establish His Kingdom. He will judge the living and the dead.
