Matthew 19:23-30

Matthew 19:23-30

1. We learn in these verses of the immense danger which riches bring on the souls of those that possess them.
2. We learn in this passage of the almighty power of God's grace in the soul.
3. We learn in these verses of the immense encouragement the Gospel offers to those who give up everything for Christ's sake.

"But let the Christian, who professes to have "treasure in heaven," set his face like a flint against the spirit of the world in this matter. Let him not worship gold. He is not the best man in God's eyes who has most money, but he who has most grace."

"Above all, Christ can give us peace of conscience, inward joy, bright hopes, and happy feelings, which shall far outweigh every pleasant earthly thing that we have cast away for His sake. He has pledged His royal word that it shall be so. None ever found that word fail. Let us trust it, and not be afraid."
