"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." Mark 10:25
Why did Jesus say that?
Are riches bad? Are rich people condemned?
In This Episode, We Look At:
Because the Bible gives so many warnings against the dangers of riches, some other misunderstandings have been perpetuated in the Christian community. One is that being wealthy is inherently sinful, or that only sinful people become wealthy. (R.C. Sproul)
The rich who are lost. They trust their wealth and see no need for a savior.
The rich who are saved may see that their needs are met, which leads them to trust their wealth also, and not consciously depending on God (which is His design).
Improve Your Faith and Finances:
If God entrusts you with riches, purpose to continue your dependence on God, the Giver of all things, and not on "uncertain riches" (1 Timothy 6:17).
"If riches increase, set not your heart on them." Psalm 62:10
