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.
