Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment!

 

Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.

~1 Timothy 6:17-19

We need to live and put all our hope in the Spirit world! To live in Spirit! Not in money, wealth, power, and things of this world! We need to stay away from materialism and also not become consumed by carnal desires. Focus on Jesus and His goodness. Our God gave Him to us as our model, our example, our Emmanuel, our God with us! All the money from China or gold bars from Egypt will never get us into Heaven! Although some elected, government gangsters, and powers that be seem to think they will, ironically, they think all their money and wealth will bring them to great success, but to where? To hell? Do you care about Heaven and spending eternity with Jesus there? If you can, follow this nice Bible verse above, live by God's word, do not let money, power, things of this world drive you, God gives us all we need, we do not need to be corrupt, greedy, or  commit fraud to get there, God knows our needs, He will always provide. Be care today, do not become slaves for Satan, sinning, hating, being deranged. We need hope, we need to put all our trust and faith in Jesus Christ and follow Him! Do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way you will lay up treasure for yourselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that you may take hold of the life that is truly life! Be rich in Jesus! Share Him with others, follow Him, reflect Him, imitate Him! That is true wealth!
