What Good Thing Shall I Do?

Summary

The sermon explores the encounter between Jesus and the rich young ruler as recorded in Matthew 19, Mark 10, and Luke 18, focusing on the man's question about inheriting eternal life. It emphasizes that salvation is not earned by works or law-keeping but is a gift of God's grace, supported by Apostle Paul's teachings in Galatians and Romans. The preacher highlights the purpose of the law as revealing sin rather than providing salvation and clarifies the distinction between killing and murder in biblical commandments. The message calls for understanding scripture in harmony and recognizing that eternal life comes through faith in Christ, not by human effort.
