Through the story of the rich young ruler, this message explores the seriousness of salvation and the danger of trusting in anything above Christ—whether riches, success, family, or habits. Good morals and good works cannot save; only faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ can. Using Jesus’ words, “One thing thou lackest,” the Pastor Steve Baker challenges us to examine what may be standing between us and full surrender to Christ. Though salvation is impossible by human effort, “with God all things are possible,” and the ground is level at the foot of the cross for every sinner who believes.
