The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In "Children, Rich Young Ruler (Part 2)," Steve Gregg explores the conversation between Jesus and the rich young ruler, focusing on the question of what it takes to inherit eternal life. Jesus first reminds the man that only God is truly good and then encourages him to keep the commandments. While Jesus doesn't suggest that following the commandments alone saves anyone, he does highlight the importance of exhibiting faithful works, which involves keeping God's commandments. The rich young ruler struggles with the idea of selling his possessions and giving to the poor, ultimately choosing his material wealth over following Jesus.
