What happens when a man gives away all the money he has to those more poor than himself? Do you know?

i have known a few people that sold everything they own so that they could focus on following jesus.

the result was that their life was more rich than before they sold their possessions.

did jesus say to sell everything you own and to follow him?

ChatGPT Yes, in the Bible, specifically in the Gospel of Mark, Jesus does instruct a wealthy young man to sell everything he owns and follow him. This story is found in Mark 10:17-31. In this passage, a rich young ruler asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. Jesus tells him to sell all his possessions, give the money to the poor, and then come and follow him. However, the young man becomes sorrowful because he has great wealth and finds this command difficult to follow. This narrative is often interpreted as an illustration of the challenge of prioritizing spiritual values over material possessions.

Let's say you didn't know these few people before they gave everything away. If you met them at their latter state, being now "more rich", would it be wrong to tell them to give everything away? They could look at you and say, "We already did!"
