It was a good question – Thomas Brooks

It was a good question, which the young man proposed, “What shall I do to inherit eternal life?” Luke 10:25. I know I shall be eternally happy or eternally miserable; eternally blessed or eternally cursed; eternally saved or eternally damned!

“Oh! what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” My cares, my fears, my troubles are all about eternity! No time can reach eternity, no age can extend to eternity, no tongue can express eternity. Eternity is that one perpetual day which shall never have end; what shall I do, what shall I not do that I may be happy to all eternity? Eternity depends upon those few hours I am to breathe in this world.
