Wrong.
Here it is:
Matt 19:17...But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
18 He said to Him, “Which ones?”
Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’ 19 ‘Honor your father and your mother,’[d] and, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”
20 The young man said to Him, “All these things I have kept from my youth.[f] What do I still lack?”
21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”
I bolded it for you...
Did you read His answer as “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ”? Or “keep the commandments”? Remember, I bolded it for your easy readying pleasure.
Did you read His answer as “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ”? Or “follow me”...again its bolded for you...
Now when we follow someone we DO something yes? We go where they go do what they do live as they do...
Do you really think if that rich young ruler would have followed Him HIS WAY his life would be as it was before? Do you really think he would be led into eating Ham dinners after church on Sunday?
“Follow me” the rich young ruler would realize is keeping the Law...is living the faith OF Yahushua...
The rich young ruler was a liar and a hypocrite.
Do you really believe that he kept all of the commandments from the time he was a youth?
He would not confess that he was a sinner so Jesus gave him more law.
"Go sell all that you have and come and follow me".
Jesus had trapped the lying hypocrite.
