Knowing that a soul only takes only what he/she brought into the world, then it evident that all these things now belong to someone else.
Yes as we came into this world we shall go out the same.
Now there was a rich man that begged the Lord to lethim come home with two suitcases when we died here, and God said no several times saying you come back the same as you went into the world. The man kept asking and asking.
Fiinally the lord said okay.
The man went and sold all he owned took up the cross and followed. It came to pass that he passes away and is at the pearly gates. Peter sees him and says you can come in, but those two suitcases can't. The man says go ask God for God said I can.
Peter comes back and says yes God said you can bring those in, but before you do can I see what you brought?
The man opens up both suitcases, and Peter sees they both are filled with Gold brick.
Peter responds with you mean you came all the way here just to bring PAVEMENT.
I know how invaluable money and all the resources of this world is.
Jesus said when he was leaving,
John 14:2
My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
Therefore all my treasures are, stored
Matthew 6:19[
Treasures in Heaven ] “Do not store up for yourselves
treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break
in and steal.
Matthew 6:20But store up for yourselves
treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break
in and steal.
Matthew 13:52He said to them, “Therefore every teacher of the law who has become a disciple
in the kingdom of
heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new
treasures as well as old.”
I know where my home is,
1 Corinthians 3:18Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise
in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
1 Corinthians 3:19For the wisdom of
this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise
in their own craftiness.
2 Corinthians 1:12For our rejoicing is
this, the testimony of our conscience, that
in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation
in the
world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
James 2:5Hearken, my beloved brethren, 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?
