Even, people are rich, even in other countries, think, in an otherwise poor country like Africa, they are rich too, who have more than enough in themselves. they lie and steal from the poor in Africa. They only occupied themselves. They do not help those who need it.
Let's just look at ourselves.
How many seats do we have in the cupboards to change? How many things do we have two or more of maybe just different colors? Maybe we should think of the poor in other countries instead of ourselves?
In many churches, Christians must be in the latest smart clothes, to be in fashion.
What does Jesus say to those who are so rich? Read it yourself.
Many Christians who become rich forget all about, the writing way to worship God, they forget about giving God glory by giving to those who have nothing. They can honor God with their mouths but their lives are not what they say.
Such is the time of the lukewarm ending before Jesus comes back, it is fatal that Jesus says many present rooms bible, it will be just as he comes back.
In Mark Ev 10 17-25, Jesus says
The rich young man
And as he sat down on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, "Good teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. You know the commandments:" Do not darken, do not take marriage; and mother. "And he said unto him, Master, all this I have kept from my youth. And Jesus looked upon him, and loved him, and said unto him, Thou art missing one thing, go, sell all that thou hast, and give. the poor, and you will have a treasure in heaven, and come, follow me. " Confused by the saying, he went away sadly because he had great possessions.
And Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it will be for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!" And his disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus told them again, children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of the needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God. "
We read many places in the Bible that people were rich, God certainly didn't mind. But he hates when people keep everything to themselves. We can ask ourselves whether Christians need to secure theft and guards to take care of the houses and things.
Or is it necessary for Christians who believe that Jesus can come at any time, and by not having anything in heaven, to assure, must have a thick fat bank account for their old age?
Give everything to Jesus. Show mercy. Help your fellow human beings who have nothing at all. Is that what Christians who are rich today always do?
It could be the world so more than Christians count on? How should the world over the world see we love each other and our fellow human beings if we many times resemble the world?
Many Christians go to churches, hear and hear, say yes, they are true, but they do not have what they hear and even say everyone else should do. They hear or see what Jesus tells them about what those who are rich in this world should do.
Jesus says in. Matthew 7: 21-23 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven, that day will many say to Me: 'Lord, Lord, do we not prophesy in your name and cast out demons in your name and do many mighty deeds in your name?' And then I will explain to them: "I never knew you, leave me, you workers with lawlessness."
Amen
