To BELIEVE in and to FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST is the ONLY PROFIT under the Sun (John 3:16-18): “I am a BELIEVER and FOLLOWER of JESUS CHRIST”.
A recent article headlined that there are around 800 billionaires in this country.
Notwithstanding, King Solomon according to the Holy
Scriptures who was the wealthiest person ever based on the standards of this
world (2 Chronicles 1:7–12) asked: “What [PROFIT] hath a man of all his labour
which he taketh under the sun?” (Ecclesiastes 1:3).
“The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in
Jerusalem. Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, [VANITY OF VANITIES; ALL IS
VANITY]” (Ecclesiastes 1:1-2).
“[FOR THE WISDOM OF THIS WORLD IS FOOLISHNESS WITH GOD]”
(1 Corinthians 3:19).
“In the [DAY OF PROSPERITY] be joyful, but in the [DAY
OF ADVERSITY] consider. [GOD ALSO HATH SET THE ONE OVER AGAINST THE OTHER, TO
THE END THAT MAN SHOULD FIND NOTHING AFTER HIM]” (Ecclesiastes 7:14).
Job also asked: “If a man die, shall he live again?”
(Job 14:14).
“[FOR YE ARE DEAD, AND YOUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST IN
GOD]” (Colossians 3:2–3).
“[FOR SINCE BY MAN CAME DEATH], by man came also the
resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, [EVEN SO IN CHRIST SHALL ALL
BE MADE ALIVE]” (1 Corinthians 15:21–22).
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that [WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE
EVERLASTING LIFE]. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the
world; but that the world through him might be saved. [HE THAT BELIEVETH ON HIM
IS NOT CONDEMNED]: but [HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT IS CONDEMNED ALREADY], because he
hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:16-18).
JESUS CHRIST, THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD who had no
wealth and riches when he was here on earth expressed about wealth and riches
when he drew an example using King Solomon, saying:
“Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto
his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? [CONSIDER THE LILIES OF THE
FIELD, HOW THEY GROW; THEY TOIL NOT, NEITHER DO THEY SPIN]: And yet I say unto
you, That even [SOLOMON IN ALL HIS GLORY WAS NOT ARRAYED LIKE ONE OF THESE]”
(Matthew 6:27-29).
“BEHOLD, A GREATER THAN SOLOMON IS HERE” (Matthew
12:42). “ALL THINGS THAT THE FATHER HATH ARE MINE” (John 16:15).
“If any man will come after me, let him deny himself,
and take up his cross [DAILY], and follow me” (Luke 9:23). “And he that taketh
not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me” (Matthew 10:38).
“[I AM HE THAT LIVETH, AND WAS DEAD; AND, BEHOLD, I AM
ALIVE FOR EVERMORE], Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Revelation
1:18).
