GOD IS GOOD: He has given HUMANS HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON (John 3:15-18).
There was news article sometime ago on the internet today headlined: “Billionaire flies family to Italy for one hour to buy ice cream”. The article ended with the sentence: “Money is good.”
The prince of this world and his servants are working
overtime to DECEIVE THE WHOLE WORLD into believing that only by having wealth
and riches a person would have had a worthy lifetime. However, this is a
complete LIE!
Our Lord, Savior and King Jesus Christ says: “[TAKE
HEED, AND BEWARE OF COVETOUSNESS]: for [A MAN’S LIFE CONSISTETH NOT IN THE
ABUNDANCE OF THE THINGS WHICH HE POSSESSETH]” (Luke 12:15).
“Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat?
or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? But [SEEK YE
FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS]; and [ALL THESE THINGS SHALL
BE ADDED UNTO YOU]” (Matthew 6:31).
Jesus also warns that we must not “Let the cares of
this world, and the [DECEITFULNESS OF RICHES], and the lusts of other things
entering in, choke the word and it becometh unfruitful” (Mark 4:19).
“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where
moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal. But lay
up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth
corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. For where your
treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:19-21).
“Woe unto you that are rich; for ye have received your
consolation” (Luke 6:24). “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the
whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for
his soul?” (Mark 8:36-37).
“How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the
Kingdom of God” (Luke 18:24).
James, the brother of Jesus said: “Whosoever therefore
will be a friend of the world is an enemy of God” (James 4:4). “Hath not God
chosen the [POOR OF THIS WORLD RICH IN FAITH], and heirs of the kingdom which
he hath promised to them that love him?” (James 2:5).
