Luke 10:25-28
25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 He said to him, “What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?” 27 So he answered and said, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’ ” 28 And He said to him, “You have answered rightly; do this and you will live.”
These two commands would lead to eternal life if it was possible to love both God and man completely. Unfortunately, we all are born with sin running in our veins that has been passed down like spiritual DNA, and so all fall short of God's standard of perfection. But Jesus Christ did live perfectly and did love absolutely because He was God and man. Thus He took our sentence for sin and was tried and put to death on our behalf - and rose from death to life. By accepting these truths we come to Him for new and eternal life. This is Easter's good news.
