Well, I’m not going to tell Noah not to give away everything. I don’t know what God may be calling him to do. Jesus certainly called on the rich young ruler to give away everything. Jesus said to the rich young man, “One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow m...
First, Jesus and the apostles never made giving away all our possessions a duty for all followers of Christ. The command to the rich young ruler was not a command to all. Second, Zacchaeus was commended for giving away half of his riches to the poor: “‘Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have defrauded anyone of anything...
Fifth, Paul says, “Aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you, so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one” (1 Thessalonians 4:11–12).

Mar 8, 2021 · Here are 7 things Jesus said on the subject of money, and what they mean for us today: 1. “Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you” (Matthew 5:42). Most of us think that our giving and lending is a matter of personal preference. We’re under no obligation to give our money away at all, right?
Is Jesus suggesting we sell all our possessions? The question this may bring up for many who wish to follow Jesus is whether this means we all have to sell all our possessions and give the money to the poor? Jesus is continuing to instruct his disciples, which began with this verse:
21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, then go and sell all that you own. Give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven. Then come and follow me!”. 22 But when the young man heard Jesus tell him to give away his money, he was sad. He didn’t want to do this, because he was very rich. So he left.

Mar 19, 2021 · Jesus’ response to the young man is actually threefold: “keep the commandments . . . sell your possessions, and give the money to the poor . . . follow me” (19:17, 21). Rather than a specific task that guarantees salvation, Jesus gives us the road map to heaven.
