Does the account of the rich, young ruler in the gospels show that Jesus taught that we could obtain eternal life by keeping the commandments of the law to the best of our ability?

It can seem that way--unless we really pay attention.

Let's not gloss over the lesson Jesus taught not only to this rich, young man, but also to His disciples around Him and to us today.

What are we trusting for God's acceptance? Jesus Christ Himself is the answer!
