The Rich Young Ruler

by Alistair Begg

Mark 10:23–31
 (ID: 2826)

When Jesus told His disciples that it’s difficult for the wealthy to enter the kingdom of God, He pointed to a truth that applies to everyone. Alistair Begg teaches us that unless God changes our hearts, we will never be willing to turn from our selfish interests and follow Christ. From beginning to end, salvation is the work of God alone and is not based on human achievement.
