Sure. Because the Bible says so.
God who “will render to each one according to his deeds”: eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath,
Romans 2:6-8
Then you agree that: eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality;
Why not believe what Jesus said in
John 5:24; that "whoever believes HAS eternal life"? He didn't say "HAS the hope of inheriting eternal life", as your posts continue to teach.
You keep posting only a part of what Jesus said in John 5:24, because if the whole verse with it's context is shown, it gives us the whole picture.
Why do you keep hiding the truth, of what Jesus said?
What do you think you have to gain, by distorting the truth of a teaching from the Lord.
I do believe John 5:24 as well as it's context.
Here is what Jesus said -
I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life.
- Hear = hearken to do
- Believe = commit, trust obey
24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. 25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, 27 and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice 29 and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. John 5:24-29
- The condition: those who have done good
- The result: to the resurrection of life
This will never change, no matter how hard you try, to hide the truth.
