Did the rich young ruler get saved?
At first I resisted the Gospel message . 7 months later , when I finally understood it , you bet I was willing .Were you willing to believe before you believed?

Why did you not understand it at first, but understand it later? Did you get smarter? Is that all it was?
Yeah, let’s throw out and exclude the gospels. Good idea.

Why did you feel inclined to search it out? I mean, who believes in the foolishness of the cross, if not those who are being saved.
Were all sinners . For ALL have sinned AND come short of the Glory of God . Two part problem .Many reasons that begin with the letters S-I-N.
