What Must I Do to Be Saved?

Pastor Steve Baker examines the rich young ruler who ran to Jesus with the right question but left with the wrong response. Using Mark 10, Pastor Steve emphasizes that no amount of goodness, religion, or success can save us—only a genuine, Holy Spirit–wrought repentance and faith in Christ. “What shall I do to inherit eternal life?” is the most important question any person will ever ask, and Scripture’s answer is clear: you must be born again. We are urged to respond today, to rejoice if we are saved, and to carry the gospel to family, friends, and coworkers who are lost.
