Eternal life, life eternal, and everlasting life are all the same. All four Gospel narratives cover the subject of eternal life and Yeshua teaches on eternal life extensively in its connection with the Law. Contrary to popular teaching, the subject of eternal life did not originate in the New Testament, but was a subject of concern prior to the advent of Yeshua. Eternal life, life eternal, and everlasting life became synonymous with salvation by New Testament writers and Believers.

In this portion of Luke, Yeshua is asked a question about how to inherit eternal life by a lawyer. Yeshua answers his question, but the lawyer’s response causes Yeshua to expound further. Later, while at a friend's home, Yeshua reveals what is most important in relation to hearing and obeying His Words or doing service unto Him.

In preparation for the teaching, Eternal Life and The Word of God, please read Luke 10:25-42.
