Just as you would like listen to only a line or two before you jump to conclusion on anything you read from other books out there, you should also do the same when it read anything from the Bible. In the very same context, you receive the answer to your question

Matthew 19 vs 16-30 (ESV)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16. A man came to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to have eternal life?”
17. Jesus answered, “Why do you ask me about what is good? Only God is good. But if you want to have eternal life, obey the law’s commands.”
18. The man asked, “Which ones?”
Jesus answered, “‘You must not murder anyone, you must not commit adultery, you must not steal, you must not tell lies about others,
19. you must respect your father and mother,’[e] and ‘love your neighbor[f] the same as you love yourself.’[g]”
20. The young man said, “I have obeyed all these commands. What else do I need?”
21. Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, then go and sell all that you own. Give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven. Then come and follow me!”
22. But when the young man heard Jesus tell him to give away his money, he was sad. He didn’t want to do this, because he was very rich. So he left.
23. Then Jesus said to his followers, “The truth is, it will be very hard for a rich person to enter God’s kingdom.
24. Yes, I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter God’s kingdom.”
25. The followers were amazed to hear this. They asked, “Then who can be saved?”
26. Jesus looked at them and said, “This is something that people cannot do. But God can do anything.”
28. Peter said to him, “We left everything we had and followed you. So what will we have?”
29. Jesus said to them, “When the time of the new world comes, the Son of Man will sit on his great and glorious throne. And I can promise that you who followed me will sit on twelve thrones, and you will judge the twelve tribes of Israel.
30. Everyone who has left houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, children, or farms to follow me will get much more than they left. And they will have eternal life.
31. Many people who are first now will be last in the future. And many who are last now will be first in the future.
According to Jesus Christ, those who lose it all in order to become worthy of being His followers will receive their just reward in the end.
