    In the Bible passage, Jesus tells a rich man to sell his possessions if he wants to achieve perfection and enter Heaven. Jesus says it will be very difficult for the wealthy man to enter Heaven because he is attached to his assets. Jesus' message suggests that the path to Heaven is challenging, but becoming less attached to rewards through good works makes the journey easier by reducing dependencies that can obstruct entry to Heaven.

    In Matthew 19:21-24, Jesus tells a man to sell his assets if he wants to be perfect.

    Jesus ends by
    saying that it will be much harder for the rich man to enter heaven since he is so connected to his
    assets. One meaning behind Jesus’ speech is that the road to Heaven isn’t easy, and by working
    towards good without reward, the path up to Heaven will be much easier for you. I also interpreted
    this passage as Jesus implying that rewards are dangerous because one may become dependent on
    them. The dependency on rewards will only create obstacles to your journey into Heaven, so Jesus
    tells the man to sell all of his assets in order to rid himself of that dependency.
