One Came Running

The sermon examines the encounter between Jesus and a rich young ruler to illustrate the true nature of salvation. It highlights how the man's adherence to external commandments failed to address his internal idolatry, specifically his love for wealth. Jesus challenges him to surrender everything to follow Him, revealing that no one is good except God alone. The preacher contrasts this refusal with the immediate obedience of other disciples and the faith of Abraham. Ultimately, the message urges listeners to prioritize eternal treasure over fleeting worldly possessions by placing their complete trust in Christ.
