Matthew 19:16-24 Christ is talking with a man who asks Christ how to receive eternal life. Christ tells him he must keep the commandments, and begins to list them. The man says he has done all these things. Christ continues by saying, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me," (21). The man is not able to do this. This story explains the eternal LAW of Consecration. The Law of Consecration is an eternal law that Christ gave unto the people. It is not enough to follow His Commandments. If we want to be “perfect,” we must give unto others what we have in everything. Laws are something we must follow to obtain treasures in Heaven.
