REAL LIFE

Real life is not found in things, but in other values. God will provide all things necessary to life if we seek first His kingdom and righteousness (Matthew 6:33). People are more important than things. The things that are not seen are more important than the things that are seen (2 Corinthians 4:14). There is a way to be rich toward God, to have investment in heaven. Paul outlines the use of things for the glory of God in 1 Timothy 6:17-19). We can use things for good and make friends, as Jesus said, by means of the mammon of unrighteousness (Luke 16:9-11). The Lord was not robbing the rich young ruler when He told him to go and sell all he had and give to the poor. He closed his remarks by saying he “would have treasure in heaven.” The value in things rightly used is that a rich storehouse is ours in the eternal tabernacles. The Lord does not take from man to make him poor, but to make him rich!
