The rich man’s problem was not wealth per se but the failure to trust that God—not wealth—was the only good and that God’s radical call to discipleship was for his own good. Only radical trust in God’s goodness makes possible abandoning wealth and following Jesus in the way of the cross. Such absolute trust in God’s goodness that is the prerequisite for entering the kingdom is impossible without a work of grace in one’s life. And God does the impossible in conversion, radically reordering human values.
