More about Riches! |
"Then
Jesus said to his disciples, 'I tell you the truth, it is hard for a
rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is
easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich
man to enter the kingdom of God.'
Jesus looked at them and said,
'With man this is impossible, but with God
all things are possible.'"
(Matthew 19:23,24,26) |
"Command
those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to
put their
hope in wealth,
which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly
provides us
with everything for our enjoyment."
(I Timothy 6:17) |
"Do not store up
for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy,
and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves
treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and
where thieves do not break in and steal."
(Matthew 6:19) |
|
More from I Timothy 6: |
"For we
brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.
But if we have
food and clothing, we will be content with that."
(6:7,8) |
"People who
want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into
many foolish and
harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction."
(6:9) |
"For
the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager
for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves
with many griefs."
(6:10) |
It is not impossible for a
Rich man to go to heaven,
but it is very difficult. |
