<p>10:25 <i>And a certain lawyer stood up, and to test him, asked: Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?</i>- When the lawyer asked Jesus what he must &ldquo;do to inherit eternal life&rdquo;, the Lord could have lectured him on salvation being by grace rather than works. But He doesn&rsquo;t; instead He tells the parable of the good Samaritan, running with the lawyer&rsquo;s misunderstanding for a while as His gracious manner was. The essential basis of inheriting eternal life is of course faith, but the Lord&rsquo;s answer to the question shows that we can safely conclude: &lsquo;Faith must be shown in our care for the salvation of this world if it is real faith&rsquo;.</p>
