    Certainly we know by faith that eternal life is only in His son Jesus Christ, and this life we have received through faith in Jesus, He has saved us by His grace made us His sons the day we repented for our sins. Jesus alone has the power to forgive our sins, because He sacrificed His life on the cross,buried and rose again on third day. He is no more there in the grave, He is our risen Savior.

    Sir, when you say, eternal life by accepting Jesus dont you think it is in contradiction to what Jesus says to the Jewish man, "If you want eternal life follow the commandments." Jesus could have said follow me if you want eternal life.

    Ham when we believe in Jesus in our Hearts not just in our heads we will want to keep His Comandments and we will seek to do so1John3.

    Hi,
    Jesus didn't come with new commandments, all He asked his followers was to follow the commandments Moses came with, and Jesus also said if you want eternal life follow the commandments and the most and foremost commandment according to him was Shama Israel; (Your Lord is one).

    True not really new commandments
    Someone asked Jesus what was the most important commandment.
    Matthew 22:36 - Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
    Mat 22:37 - Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
    Mat 22:38 - This is the first and great commandment.

    Mat 22:39 - And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
    Mat 22:40 - On these two commandments hang ALL the law and the prophets.
    Yet
    Galatians 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

    Thank you for the detailed answer Brother.
    The last verse you quoted from Galatians 5:18, or in fact I read from the first verse all the way to the 18th verse those are not Jesus words, but Pauls.
    He is talking about circumcision, Jesus never said dont circumcise your children.
    Paul seems to have created his own law and sourced Jesus Christ who never said them.
    Very interesting.
