ESSAY: According to Christian Perfection, what does Christ's instruction to "sell all" mean for the Christian today? |
When Christ instructed the rich young man to "sell all," he was telling the man to deny the enjoyment he acquired from his estate by offering it to God. A Christian today should also give his possessions to God by denying the enjoyment of their wealth. Christians should use their material belongings to glorify God, but should not seek them for their own sake.
