Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? Only God is good. 20. And you know his commands: ‘You must not commit adultery, you must not murder anyone, you must not steal, you must not tell lies about others, you must respect your father and mother ….’” 21. But the leader said, “I have obeyed all these commands since I was a boy.” 22. When Jesus heard this, he said to the leader, “But there is still one thing you need to do. Sell everything you have and give the money to those who are poor. You will have riches in heaven. Then come and follow me.” 23. But when the man heard Jesus tell him to give away his money, he was sad. He didn’t want to do this, because he was very rich. 24. When Jesus saw that the man was sad, he said, “It will be very hard for rich people to enter God’s kingdom. 25. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter God’s kingdom.” 26. When the people heard this, they said, “Then who can be saved?” 27. Jesus answered, “God can do things that are not possible for people to do.” 28. Peter said, “Look, we left everything we had and followed you.” 29. Jesus said, “I can promise that everyone who has left their home, wife, brothers, parents, or children for God’s kingdom 30. will get much more than they left. They will get many times more in this life. And in the world that is coming they will get the reward of eternal life.”Psalms 63:3our faithful love is better than life, so my lips praise you.Psalms 16:11[11] You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.Revelation of John 5:2-5 And I saw a powerful angel, who called in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” 3. But there was no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth who could open the scroll or look inside it. 4. I cried and cried because there was no one who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. 5. But one of the elders said to me, “Don’t cry! The Lion from the tribe of Judah has won the victory. He is David’s descendant. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
