Matthew 19:29 (KJV)
Commentary on Matthew 19:29
Jesus promises that everyone who forsakes family or property 'for my name's sake' will receive 'an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.' This demonstrates kingdom economics—giving up earthly treasures for Christ yields infinite return. The 'hundredfold' blessing includes spiritual family (the church community) and eternal life. Reformed theology sees here the principle that God cannot be outgiven—sacrifices for Christ are investments with eternal dividends. The motivation must be 'for my name's sake,' not personal gain.
