RICH in the SPIRIT in the FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST and Poor (Matthew 5:3; 25:31-34) (James 2:5) (Revelation 22:1-6)?
There are untold numbers of people speaking and writing about a coming transfer of wealth from the rich to the poor but, DO NOT BE DECEIVED because the RICH are NOT going to give to the POOR of the world (Matthew 19:17-23)!
“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).
Our Lord Jesus says: “[VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU,
THAT A RICH MAN SHALL HARDLY ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN]’” (Matthew 19:23).
When a young man wanted to know what he must
do to inherit eternal life, Jesus answered: “[IF THOU WILT ENTER INTO LIFE,
KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS]” (Matthew 19:17). The young man then wanted to know
which commandments.
“Jesus said, ‘Thou shalt do no murder, Thou
shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false
witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself.
The young man saith unto him, ‘All these
things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?’ Jesus said unto him, ‘If
thou wilt be perfect, go and [SELL THAT THOU HAST, AND GIVE TO THE POOR], and
thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come [AND FOLLOW ME].
’But when the young man heard that saying, he
went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. Then said Jesus unto his
disciples, ‘[VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT A RICH MAN SHALL HARDLY ENTER INTO THE
KINGDOM OF HEAVEN]’” (Matthew 19:18-23)
“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. When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed,
saying, ‘[WHO THEN CAN BE SAVED]?’ But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them,
‘WITH MEN THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE; BUT WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE’” (Matthew
19:24-26).
“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).
“[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).
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, [HE THAT
BELIEVETH ON ME HATH EVERLASTING LIFE]. I am that bread of life” (John
6:47-48).
“[JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, AND TODAY,
AND FOREVER]” (Hebrews 13:8). “Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus
throughout all ages, [WORLD WITHOUT END]. Amen” (Ephesians 3:21).
“Blessed be the LORD God of Israel [FROM
EVERLASTING, AND TO EVERLASTING]. Amen, and Amen” (Psalm 41:13).
