In Luke, we read, One of the leaders asked him, “Good rabbi, what should I do to obtain eternal life?” (Luke 18:18). This man asked what he should do. He had no concept of eternal life, because he was only looking to do something, which we tend to do even after we’re saved. The word do indicates an act. It’s an achievement, something we attain and can say we’ve done. Sadly, it also means “a performance.”
