Matthew

📖 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 The rich young man approaches Jesus with a genuine desire to obtain eternal life. He understands that not everyone possesses eternal life and recognizes that he himself is lacking. His question is sincere, not hostile or deceptive, and reflects a real concern for life beyond death. 2️⃣ Jesus Answers His Great Question Jesus responds by directing attention away from human goodness and toward God alone. By declaring that only God is good, Jesus exposes the false standard by which people judge themselves and reminds the young man that eternal life requires perfect righteousness—something no sinner possesses. 3️⃣ Jesus Reveals the Importance of the Law of God Jesus points the young man to the commandments, showing that the law reveals sin and holds all people accountable before God. The law functions as a schoolmaster, silencing self-righteousness and exposing spiritual bankruptcy. It shows that no one can earn eternal life through obedience because all fall short of God’s holiness. 4️⃣ The Good Fruit of Eternal Life When pressed further, the young man reveals his true treasure—his wealth. Jesus exposes the idol of his heart by calling him to surrender what he loves most and follow Him. Unable to do so, the young man walks away sorrowful. This demonstrates that eternal life produces fruit: a love for Christ above all else, a willingness to forsake idols, and a life of obedience flowing from genuine faith. 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
