Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.

And, behold, one came and said unto Him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? …. The first question reveals the great mistake and the last one (v20) the great problem of life.
