Entering The Kingdom | Luke 18:15-30 | Pastor John Miller

What is required to inherit eternal life? In this study of Luke 18:15–30, Pastor John Miller examines two contrasting encounters that reveal the heart of the Gospel. First, we see the humility of infants brought to Jesus, and then the self-reliance of a rich young ruler who walked away sorrowful. Pastor John breaks down the radical truth that entering the Kingdom of God is not about achieving, but receiving. Discover why we must come to Christ with the simple, dependent faith of a child and why anything we "possess"—whether wealth, morality, or religion—can become a barrier to salvation if we hold it tighter than we hold onto the Savior. In this study, you will learn: - Childlike Faith: Why infants and toddlers are the ultimate model for receiving God’s grace. - The Rich Young Ruler: Analyzing the tragedy of a man who had everything but lacked the one thing that mattered. - The Danger of Self-Righteousness: Why "keeping the commandments" is not enough to save the soul. - The Needle's Eye: Understanding the difficulty of the wealthy entering the kingdom and the reality that "with God all things are possible." - The Reward of Sacrifice: The promise for those who leave all to follow Jesus. 📺 WATCH THE GOSPEL OF LUKE SERIES: Keep growing in the Word with the full verse-by-verse series here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP9sIJpVEMLKl-Yf93BLg8t9b8KOGIAmC 🕒 Video Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction: Achievement vs. Reception 04:15 – Suffer the Little Children: The Model of Humility (18:15-17) 10:40 – The Rich Young Ruler’s Question: What Must I Do?
