Jesus redirects the question toward God’s goodness and emphasizes obedience to God’s laws, including love of neighbor and honoring parents. When the ruler claims he has followed these commands, Jesus calls him to sell his possessions, give to the poor, gain heavenly treasure, and then follow Him. The ruler leaves saddened, and Jesus explains how difficult it is for the rich to enter God’s kingdom.","28.

There is only one who is good, and that is God. But if you want to have eternal life, obey God’s laws .”  \n“Which ones do I need to obey?” he asked. Jesus replied,“Do not murder . Do not commit adultery. Do not steal. Do not lie . Honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as you love yourself.”  \nBut the young man said,“I have obeyed all these laws ever since I was a boy. What do I still need to do in order to live forever?” Jesus looked at him and loved him .  \nJesus answered,“If you want to be perfect, then go and sell everything you own and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven . Then come and follow me .”  \nWhen the young man heard what Jesus said, he became very sad, because he was very rich and did not want to giveaway all the things he possessed. He turned and went away from Jesus .  \nThen Jesus said to his disciples,“It is extremely hard for rich people to enter into the kingdom of God! Yes, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”","cbCaibT9Nt5bbiNd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibT9Nt5bbiNd","pdf",266932,1,16,"English","en",105,"# The Question About Eternal Life\n## The Call to Obey God’s Laws\n## The Requirement to Sell and Follow","[{\"question\":\"What question does the rich young ruler ask Jesus?\",\"answer\":\"He asks what he must do to have eternal life.
