Wesley's Notes for Luke 10:28
10:28 Thou hast answered right; this do, and thou shalt live - Here is no irony, but a deep and weighty truth. He, and he alone, shall live for ever, who thus loves God and his neighbour in the present life.
People's Bible Notes for Luke 10:28
Lu 10:28 This do, and thou shalt live. He who fulfills the great law of love is born again. There is no inconsistency. We "repent" and live, "believe" and live, "obey" and live, and "love" and live. For these are all co-related. One cannot exist without the others. We cannot love God unless we believe and repent. "He that loves me will keep my words" (Joh 14:23).
