question
according to ~Christian Perfection~, what does Christ's introduction to "sell all" mean for the Christian today?
answer
when Christ told the rich young man to "sell all," he was instructing the man to renounce the enjoyment he derived from his estate by offering it to God. so, too, should the Christian today give his possessions to God by renouncing the enjoyment of them. material things should be used by Christians to glorify God, but are not to be sought for their own sakes.
