What does the Bible say about how to inherit eternal life?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that eternal life is a gift from God, not earned by our deeds, but through faith in Christ.

In Mark 10:17, the rich young ruler asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. Jesus replies by pointing to the commandments, emphasizing that one must be holy to inherit this gift. The deeper truth revealed is that no one can earn eternal life through their actions; it is given by God’s grace through faith in Christ. Salvation is rooted in relationship, not ritual, and is only possible through trusting in Jesus as Savior, not in one’s own good works or possessions.
