In Luke 10, there's a brief exchange between Jesus and a lawyer that sets the stage for Jesus to tell the famous parable of the Good Samaritan.

The lawyer asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. Jesus seems to realize that the lawyer really knows the answer already, and - indeed he does. It's one of the pithiest, most direct instructions in the whole of the Word. Here's how the lawyer states it:

"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself."

Jesus simply says to him, "Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live."

So, we know what to do: Love God. Love our neighbors. We can talk a lot about how best to do that, but the "what" is plainly stated here - and it's plainly linked to the idea of eternal life.

3. Everyone who has any religion knows and acknowledges that those who lead a good life are saved and those who lead an evil life are damned. They know this because heaven is united with people who know from the Word that there is a God, that there is a heaven and a hell, and that there is a life after death. This [connection with heaven] gives rise to this widespread perception.

For this reason in the Athanasian statement of faith concerning the Trinity, which is accepted throughout the whole Christian world, what it says at the end is also accepted everywhere, namely,

Jesus Christ, who suffered for our salvation, ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father Almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead; and then those who have done good will go into everlasting life and those who have done evil will go into everlasting fire.
