How to Miss Out on Heaven

The gospel is good news. It is news that God sent his only Son to die in the place of sinners to pay the penalty for their sin and then he rose from the dead conquering sin and death so that people from all nations could be forgiven and reconciled unto God and made adopted sons and heirs of God…receiving eternal life.

But how does one get in on this good news? Who is this Son who came to save sinners? What does it look like for me to become an adopted son of God? What holds me back?

A rich young man approached Jesus once and his encounter will teach us about the nature of salvation. This message is from Matthew 19:16-22.
