Sunday Morning Starters

Scripture: Mark 10:17-22

Question: What shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

Answer: Keep the commandments.

Response: I do.

Conclusion of the Whole Matter: Keep the commandments for the right reason.

The rich young ruler was not rebuked by Jesus. He was obedient to the commandments. Yet, His heart was not set on eternal life. His heart was not set on treasure in Heaven. He needed to obey the commandments, but from a heart that desires nothing more than to see the Author behind each and every command.
