Loving your neighbor as yourself is immensely difficult and just as impossible as loving god with all of your body, heart, mind, and soul. this can be quite disheartening to anybody who wants to seek eternal life. fortunately for us, jesus was not unaware of what he was asking us to do. he wanted us to know that the only way to get eternal life is to recognize that it is impossible for us to do this on our own. afterall, people have been trying since time began to do it.
the reason why people continuously fail is because we were created to need a savior. this is not a very popular message in today's society that promotes independence and relative truth telling. Christ's message was clear, we need to put our faith in him, the one who is pretty famous for making the impossible happen. i don't know about you, but i am pretty excited about this hope. |
