It was not the riches nor the wealth that got the rich man in the bible in hot water, it was his selfishness and his attitude towards the less fortunate. He cared not for the poor, nor did he consider the needy. He loved not his neighbor as himself. That is what got him in the hot water.
It is always a matter of the heart with God, not with the ching ching of the change. God said riches and wealth would and could be in the house of those who love and cherish with all their heart wisdom, doing what is righteous, helping the poor and the needy, and who love and honor God with their substance. (Read Psalms 112:1-10).
Why can't people see this? Money, wealth, riches are breathless and lifeless. Their power is always what men hearts and minds give it over them. Now it is sad that men have built money a throne and they have sat money upon that throne to rule over them. But it is still lifeless and breathless. It is not that which is lifeless or breathless that destroys mens souls in hell. It is that which is in their hearts and souls. God is rich and Jesus is rich and they are unselfish and so caring and so wealth sharing....Well it is the truth......deno.
Read Now .....Psalms 112.
112 Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 A good man showeth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.
8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
