We can go round and round theorizing what is righteous concerning wealth and the love of money …
but as disciples of our master let us learn from him directly
each person must work this out for themselves …
20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou will be perfect, go and sell that thou have, and give to the poor, and thou shall have treasure
in heaven: and come and follow me.
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 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.
25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
Matthew 19:
28 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that has left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife,
or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
Luke 18:
verse 30: (ERV) will get much more than they left. They will get many times more in this life. And in the world that is coming
they will get the reward of eternal life.
