Gospel of God

Jesus said to keep the commandments to inherit eternal life

Points:

A certain man was allured, drawn, to Jesus by his desire for eternal life.
Jesus told him that he needed to keep the Ten Commandments, all ten.
For over six thousand years men have died and none have raised themself from their grave, except Jesus.
Eternal life that Jesus offers allures, draws, all men to himself.
