“Do not love the world of the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world – the lust flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life – is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” -1 John 2:15
There God goes with His promises, again. He has made us so many promises if we will just hold up our end of the deal and it makes me wonder why we try so hard on earth to to do things to feed our flesh that don’t even last a lifetime! SO, when we can truely have FAITH that he will give us what he promised, all the things of this world slowly lose value.
Mark 10 talks about the difficulty of riches.
“…But Jesus answered again and said to them ‘Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.’ And they were greatly astonished, saying amonth themselves, ‘Who then can be saved?’ But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.” -Mark 10:24-27
Obviously it isn’t a sin to HAVE money, but it is a sin to worship it (or anything else that isn’t God). Everyone worships something, whether they call themsleves Athiest or Buddhist or Scientologist but it all comes and goes. God is our only constant and our ONLY way into Heaven is through Jesus Christ.
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” -Hebrews 13:8
Praise Him for THAT!!
