Would you be able to give up everything you own and follow Jesus?
Our will is not enough for salvation, instead the Grace of God and the Sacrifice of Jesus and our belief in him.
But, however, our actions and our own will which dictate our works will be judged, examples our transgressions and sins and good deeds.
Therefore, is life just to be lived for pleasure and is ignorance really bliss? Or is the limited time we have on earth a test back to God?
Our world is all about material on earth and human nature cannot get enough wealth (temptation and greed which corrupt), one of my favorite verses in the New Testament is -
Matthew 19:21-24 King James Version (KJV)
Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
In the movie the Greatest Story Ever Told the reply was 'who could do such a thing?"
