📖 Matthew 19:16–22 – The Rich Young Man
🎙️ Sermon | Foundation Baptist Church | Euless, TX
📅 February 2026

In this searching and doctrinally rich sermon from Matthew 19:16–22, Jesus confronts one of the most important questions any person can ask: "What must I do to have eternal life?" Through His interaction with the rich young man, Christ exposes false assumptions about goodness, works, and salvation, and reveals the true cost of following Him.

This passage makes clear that eternal life is found in Christ alone, not in morality, wealth, sincerity, or religious effort.

🔍 Major points from this sermon:
1️⃣ A Sincere Question Is Asked of Jesus
2️⃣ Jesus Answers His Great Question
3️⃣ Jesus Reveals the Importance of the Law of God
4️⃣ The Good Fruit of Eternal Life

This sermon presses a sobering truth: a person can desire eternal life and still not possess it. Following Christ requires total surrender, and the only hope for salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone.

"Only one life, 'twill soon be past; only what's done for Christ will last." -C.T. Studd
