>>12056479>The rules are because there's things God says (and therefore are) bad, and things that God says are good (and therefore are). He wants us to try to live by them and He promises to help us do so.An yet Eternal Life is not about abiding by that code, because we can't, but rather about receiving the gift of salvation, which is the pardon for the sins we made.
>"For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement."
