Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Proverbs 10:22
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
I'm a Christian and I'm not that rich but I'm rich in the love of Dearest Jesus Christ. He changed my life from being a bad person, troublemaker,liar and everything that are not good in the sight of our Dearest Lord. I've done it. But now I want you to know that God exist! He is alive. If you have faith then He will make miracles in your life that you won't know that it is possible with Him.
I don't want to argue or debate with you guys I'm just sharing how God is so good to me.
I love you all in the Lord but Dearest Jesus loves you all more and more.
"Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God" Matthew 19:24
Through greater difficulty, that's all. Why do you act so dense? Oh, I know. You think that you can't be saved, because you are unwilling to get laughed by all you atheist friends who would think you were nuts if you became a Christian.
Forget your friends. Missing out on eternal life isn't worth having those kinds of friends for a piddly 60 or 80 years here. You're smarter than that.
Actually, there are many rich Christians who give to help the poor, just like there are many rich atheists who give to help the poor. Wealth itself, and the using of it doesn't have anything with getting to Heaven. Faith in Jesus salvation is the only way for salvation.
Dude "easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God"
It means it's not possible for a rich to go to heaven, it's not "difficult" it's not possible!
You are finally getting it.
It is not possible for anything that you or I can do. But nothing is impossible for God to do. That's part of the reason that Jesus had to be God as well as man. It was man who sinned, so it was man who had to pay. But man couldn't pay enough (go through the eye of a needle, so to speak). That's why Jesus is God as well, so that the payment could be enough.
Jesus being man, could do nothing other than to offer the work of salvation he did to other people. If He didn't, He would not be fulfilling the law of love that is a requirement. But, Jesus does not force salvation on anyone. That would not be according to the law of love, either.
You get your choice. Accept the thing that is impossible for you but is not impossible for God. Accept it as it is, the free gift from Jesus. Or die the eternal death. Your choice.
Ok so he said we had to be poor to go to heaven but if we're not but accept Jesus it works that's it?
