Matthew 19:16 ESV
16 And behold, a man came up to him, saying, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?”
This man asked the question about himself, not what we must do, but what must I do. Jesus answered him. It is not so much about what earthly things we give up for God, but that we give ourselves to Him. Sometimes earthly measures reveal whether a heart is given to the Lord, though often not. The heart of the matter rests in the heart.
