Mark 10:17-31
Why is it so diffucult for some people to understand the gospel message? Partly because it's a free gift from Jesus. Most people feel they need to pay their way to heaven. There's not enough money in the world to buy your way into heaven.
No matter what you've done in your life, if you don't have a relationship with Jesus then you're missing out.
The gospel message is a free gift but Jesus paid for it with His life, with the cross, with His betrayal. We should accept and appreciate the free gift that God gives us in His word. Jesus pleaded my soul for salvation. He paid for your sould with His blood.
Jesus is the only way to obtain eternal salvation. All that you do doesn't mean anything if you don't have a relationship with Jesus.
