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. And they were shocked and exceedingly astonished, and said to Him and to one another, Then who can be saved?
Mark 10:25-26 AMPC
Good morning fellow disciples.
God hates idol worship!
Many of us don’t even realize that we are worshiping idols instead of God. Many of us have half-heartedly tried to serve God, but this does not please God. In fact, Jesus says that it is impossible for those who hold on to their riches / wealth to enter the kingdom of God.
Who then can be saved?
That’s what the disciples asked when Jesus said that it’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
Who can be saved?
Everyone can be saved!
Anyone can be saved!
I can be saved!
You can be saved!
Jesus said that the young man should give up his idol and come and follow Him, joining His party, and living life the way that Jesus did.
Everyone, anyone, you and I, can be saved if we choose to live according to the words of Jesus.
So, are you willing to give up your idols, repent of your sins, and turn to live for and to obey God?
Are you willing to make God Almighty your only God?
Prayer: Father God, each day that I have pondered this series I keep asking myself: “what am I holding on to that is keeping me from truly following You wholeheartedly?”
I want to live eternally with You Lord God! But like this young man, having heard Jesus’ words, I am convinced that there are things in my life that need to change. I need to give up on the things that keep me from serving You.
I need to realize what is keeping me bound to the enemies kingdom. Now that I have this realization, I renounce all contracts with the enemy, I turn my back on his kingdom, and I repent of my sins and turn to You to serve You wholeheartedly.
Lord God, I let go of everything that is not of You, I let go of everything that is keeping me from following You, so that I can truly inherit eternal life! Amen
