No, he told this young man that. You aren't that young man. Unless God has told you specifically that this is what you are now called to do, it is not what you are now called to do. The more I've thought about this, the more I'm thinking that basically, Christ was calling this young man to be a general authority. But he declined because he had to admit that he loved money more than he ought to. I suppose it is correct that most of us are not called as general authorities. Thus we are not called to give up all our earthly possessions. We need them to fulfill our callings in life. But if we ever were called upon to do so, that would be the true test. Quote
