DIY Salvation

There is an ever-growing list of popular DIY projects on the internet and social media platforms. Among the most favored Do-It-Yourself options are home improvements, cooking, gardening, auto repairs, and even upcycling (also known as repurposing). Whatever your interest, skills, or resources, there is a DIY project for you.

Another field of DIY is self-improvement. There is no shortage of tutorials available to help you learn to journal, improve your health, practice mindfulness, set goals, engage in self-care, or learn the art of positive affirmation.   

There are even DIY tips for those who desire spiritual growth. However, for those discontent with a vague sense of spirituality, there are some limitations. Is there a DIY solution for those who want assurance they will have eternal life?

In Luke 18:15-25, Jesus meets a young wealthy man who asks Him this very question. "What must I do to inherit eternal life?" In other words, how can I DIY my salvation? When Jesus answered, the man walked away sad when confronted with the true cost.
