Principle #1: Being rich in the spirit and the gospel of Christ is greater than any world riches man
can ever want. A wealthy young man approaches Jesus and inquiries about how to receive eternal life. In response, Jesus challenges him to sell his belongings and give to the needy, emphasizing how hard it is for the wealthy to get into the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 19:16–20
Principle #2: Being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and a true disciple of Christ requires you to make sacrifices. Peter asks Jesus what the disciples would get for following Him. Jesus tells them that those who have given up all to follow Him will get great rewards in this world as well as the next. Matthew 19:27–30
Principle #3: No one can serv two masters and be faithful to both. You cannot serve God and me a person who worries too much in worldly manners. Be careful of temptations that come from false Gods. Luke 16:13
