Should not true Christians follow Luke 6: 27-36 ?27"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. 30Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31Do to others as you would have them do to you. 32"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. 33And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that. 34And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. 35But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

Verses about letting go of the things we own."And he said to all, 'If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.'" Luke 9:23 (ESV)"Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him." 1 John 2:15 (ESV)"For many are called, but few are chosen." Matthew 22:14 (ESV)"For this is a gracious thing, when, mindful of God, one endures sorrowswhile suffering unjustly. For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it,you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thingin the sight of God. For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you,leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps."1 Peter 2:19-21 (ESV)"Jesus said to him, 'If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!'"John 21:22 (ESV)
I believe a true christian should also share the mindset of Psalms 63:1 1 O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
