A Matter of Trust

Jesus shows the rich young man that he is in fact a law breaker, as are we all. His trust in possessions has made them his god. Out of love the Lord bids him sell all, so as to trust the One who will fulfill the law through perfect obedience to the Father.

We exhort one another to obey the law, not to save ourselves but because we follow Christ, and because we are so very grateful for salvation, and because we wish to honor Him, and so “that none may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.”
