“I rather be RICH IN FAITH and POOR IN THE WORLD than to be Rich in the world and poor in Faith”! We must read for ourselves the Biblical account of Lazarus and the rich man (Luke 16:19-31).
James, the brother of JESUS says: “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).
“For ye are
all the children of God by [FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS]” (Galatians 3:24).
JESUS says:
“How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the Kingdom of God” (Luke
18:24).
“And again I
say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than
for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God’” (Matthew 19:24).
“Then said
Jesus unto his disciples, ‘[VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT A RICH MAN SHALL HARDLY
ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN]’” (Matthew 18:23).
“Blessed are
the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:3).
“Blessed are
they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven” (Matthew 5:10).
“Blessed are
the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are the
pure in heart: for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8-9).
James, the
brother of Jesus also said: “Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world
is an enemy of God” (James 4:4)
The Apostle
Paul expressed, said: “For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom
knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of [PREACHING TO SAVE THEM THAT
BELIEVE]” (1 Corinthians 1:21).
“[FOR THE
PREACHING OF THE CROSS IS TO THEM] that perish foolishness; but unto us [WHICH
ARE SAVED IT IS THE POWER OF GOD]” (1 Corinthians 1:18-19).
“[FOR WHEN
THEY SHALL SAY, PEACE AND SAFETY; THEN SUDDEN DESTRUCTION COMETH UPON THEM], as
travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape” (1 Thessalonians
5:3).
“[FOR THE
WRATH OF GOD IS] revealed from heaven [AGAINST ALL UNGODLINESS AND
UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF MEN], who hold the truth in [UNRIGHTEOUSNESS]” (Romans
1:18).
Our Lord
JESUS says: “[FOR AS A SNARE SHALL IT COME ON ALL THEM THAT DWELL ON THE FACE
OF THE WHOLE EARTH].
[WATCH YE
THEREFORE, AND PRAY ALWAYS], that ye may be accounted [WORTHY TO ESCAPE ALL
THESE THINGS] that shall come to pass, [AND TO STAND BEFORE] the Son of man”
(Luke 21:35-36).
“[FEAR NOT,
LITTLE FLOCK]; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom”
(Luke 12:32).
“I am with
you alway, [EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD]. Amen” (Matthew 28:20).
