Riches of earth shall not enter heaven.

Jesus did not have a home to live in. He had no bank account. He owened no car, truck, airplane or anything else that will tie in with earths possesion. He said. Love not the world, if you love the world the love of the Father is not in you. In our Sunday School lessons we saw clearly how the young Rich Man came to Jesus and said. What can I do to be saved? Jesus said.
Sell everything and give it all to the poor and then you will have riches in glory.

The young man was so sad. His riches would not let him enter the glorious presence of Jesus.
Seek the Lord and then you will find riches of glory.

If you really read into this story Jesus says that He loved the man. At times we can get more of the story by reading into it as Jesus saves all those whom He loves so we may not know much more about this rich man but that He did eventually get saved so did he eventually give up everything and follow Jesus? I believe that he did!

I've had others tell me that no where in the Bible does Jesus share that animals get saved by Jesus, however Jesus tells us to share the Gospel with every creature and Jesus did save 2 of every creature in the Ark with Noah and there is animals in Heaven so do animals get saved? I believe that they do!

Do riches keep us out of Heaven if we only believe that Jesus entrusts us with homes, cars or things, that everything belongs to Jesus? I believe that my reward is with Jesus when I go to be with Him in paradise

Everything Jesus has given me, it belongs to Him. I am using all of it to glory of God the Father. Nothing I have brought here to earth and nothing I will be able to take to His glorious presence. The only thing we wil be able to take to Jesus are the souls we brought to His feet, the eternal word of God written down in our heart and obeying His command. Love one another as I have loved you. Follow peace with all me and holiness without which no one will see the Lord. So, Jesus knows our hearts and minds. He is the One who giveth and He is the One who will take everything away from us. Just be thankful, be grateful and give all glory to God almight for giving the opportunity to be a blessing to others.

Jesus has given us what we have right now and everything belongs to Him. Give thanks unto the Lord. Blessings comes from Him alone so we will be able to share good news with others and be a blessing to those in need.

We should be prepared to see Jesus coming in the clouds to take us all home to heaven. Everything will be left behind. All decoration, degrees, houses, bank accounts and all material possesions. We shall be taken up to heaven and never come back again. Love the Lord for this promise is all true and it will happen to everyone of us who love the Lord with all our heart, mind and soul. Blessed is the man who waits for that wonderful day to come.

No matter how much you love your things and dont want to get rid of anything, all of it will stay on earth. We will not be able to take anything to the presence of Jesus. My nextdoor neighbor just passed away. He was a well to do business man and had lots of things. He rejected the Lord all his life but at the last minute, he gave himself to Jesus and said. Dear Lord, I am giving everything back to you. The church next door is getting everything I have to build a new sanctuary and a Christian School for children to learn about Jesus and their own Christian Radio Station to share Gods word to the whole nation. God is the giver of all good gifts. It is up to us to give back to Him what He has blessed us with.
