But is it obedience or is it disobedience? Is it a heart after the Father, or is it the things that will please my heart? And so you're saying, well, that's Old Testament. Okay, we'll go to New Testament. Matthew, chapter 19. Just then a man came up to Jesus and said, teacher, what good things must I do to enter eternal life? Why do you ask me about what is good? There's only one who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments. Which ones? You shall not murder, shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony. Honor your father and mother, love your neighbor as yourself. The young man says, I've done all of these. I've kept all of these. What still do I lack? Jesus answered, if you want to be perfect, go sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me. When the young man heard this, he went away, sad because of his great wealth. Where was his heart? His heart was in his belongings, in what he had. And Jesus says, you can't do that. You can't. So what do you value the most? If you were stuck on a deserted island, what would you have to have? Where is your treasure?
