Mat 19:20-21 The young man said to Him, "All these things I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?" Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."
The Lord also asked this question; "... what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?” Mat.16:26.
