What Can I Do To Get Into Heaven?

Mark 10:17-31

3 Take AWay Truths

1. We can never eternal life

“Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Vs. 2

Religion Emphasizes

You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.^”  “Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.” Vs. 19-20

Jesus came to do what

The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.” Vs. 26-27

2. I must choose if Jesus is just or if He is

As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”  “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone.  Vs. 17-18

3. Following Jesus will always require me

Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth. Vs. 21-22

Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. Mark 8:34-35

What one thing is Jesus asking me to give up today to follow Him?
