RICHES AND HEAVEN

Bible Passage Mat 19:16-24 (also in Mark 10:17-21 and Luke 18:18-30)

Jesus is not saying here that it is a sin to be rich. He is explaining why it is difficult for rich people to get to heaven. Some gain their riches by cheating, and some by killing others. Some, because they are rich, forget to read their Bibles or have no time for it. They forget to pray and are too concerned about how to make more money or keep what they already have safe. They often forget to be kind to the poor around them or look down on them. These and many other bad habits prevent them from having eternal life.

TODAY'S ACTION

Pray that you will never get so rich that you will forget God or other people in need.
