When the rich young ruler comes to Jesus with amazing self-confidence in his own righteousness, he asks Jesus what he must do to be saved. Jesus shows him how high the bar of the Law really is to God. The gospel states that no religious system can save us, but that God offers us His grace as a free and undeserved gift. God does want success for us in terms of wealth, but in a life of following Him.
