Not a troll post but a genuine question. If the Bible states a rich man can never get into heaven, and Trump and his family are rich, but if they end up successfully saving the country from the Satanists and help restore and protect Christianity in America, will they still not get into heaven? I don't see them giving up their money anytime soon, and they kind of DO need that money in order to run for POTUS and do a lot of the things they need to get done, not to mention protect themselves, so it does beg the question.

The theme is that no one gets to heaven by their own works, and this story illustrates this. The young man seemed exemplary, keeping the Law, but Christ nevertheless shows him a sin that also caused him to fail to earn heaven. The disciples react with dismay, but then Christ refers to His own death on the cross, which makes it possible for this rich sinner to go to heaven. After all, the death on the cross and resurrection are what Christ refers to when He says that what is impossible for humans is possible for God. Abraham, Jacob, Job, David, etc., were all wealthy people, so wealth in itself is not a sin. Being bound to it is. Every person is a sinner before God and needs Christ.
