1 | Selling all required to gain salvation? | Mark 10:21 | Santaanacanyon | 148029 | ||
This passage is not about wealth. It is about the man's question regarding what he must do to inherit eternal life. Christ's first answer used only SIX of the ten commandments; the one's that deal with our relationship with men. Christ's second answer was the first FOUR commandements, but what Jesus was doing was stating them in PERSONAL APPLICATION to this ONE individual. "Selling All..." was not required for eternal life, but obeying the first four commandments was, which he was not doing. Christ said there was ONE thing he still lacked (v. 20), and that was God, not religion or self righteousness. Important note: This man was the only person who conversed with Jesus, and walked away worse off than when he arrived. | ||||||
