Mark 10:25  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."

During Jesus time on earth, He made it clear that we, as humans, cannot live a good enough life to earn our way into Heaven. We are saved by the grace of God, our faith and belief in Jesus Christ, His sacrificial death on the cross made payment for mankind's sins. If we could save ourselves, there would have been no need for Jesus to die. 

Today's verse may cause some to question if the wealthy can enter Heaven. Here Jesus was confronted by a man with many possessions and he asked how to be saved. Jesus knew his heart and challenged him to sell everything and give to the poor. Sadly, the man was not willing to be sold out for Christ. 

Matthew 6:19-21

[19]"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

[20]But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal;

[21]for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Both rich and poor and everyone in-between can be saved. It's those who are willing to put Jesus Christ first in their life and be willing to give up everything for their eternal reward. What's holding you back from being completely sold out for Christ? Let loose the unworthy possessions and exchange them for eternal security in Heaven. God bless.
