10817. Those born within the Church ought to acknowledge the Lord, His Divinity and His Humanity, and to believe in Him and to love Him; for all salvation comes from Him. This the Lord teaches in John,
He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not believe in the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God rests with him. John 3:36.
In the same gospel,
This is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:40.
In the same gospel,
Jesus said, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he die, yet he will live. And whoever lives and believes in Me will never die. John 11:25,26.
