In Matthew 19:16-21, we behold a story of a young rich ruler who was very interesting in having the "gift of eternal life"- God's immeasurable, undeserving reward to those who follow Him with all their heart. It means placing God first in your life, above everything else. Nothing should be more important to you than developing and maintaining a relationship with God. Nothing should stop you from worshiping (serving) Him with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your might. Nothing!
The young man curiously ask Jesus (vs. 16), "...master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?" Jesus answered and said unto him, "...if thou will enter into life, keep the commandments (which is listed in vs. 18). The young man thought that he had done everything that Jesus was asking him do. Confused he said, "I did all these things from my youth: what lack I yet?" (vs.20).
