Is It Going To Matter In Importance To Be Rich Toward God?

Jesus told many parables about life and the Kingdom while He walked the planet 2000 years it's been. He said, "it's better to be rich toward God," Woe in fact to him who is not. Scripture says, "If the righteous scarcely be saved what will become of the ungodly and unrighteous? I believe Him. What better way would there be for God to reveal to us He has a will than to walk in our shoes and become one of us. He exaggerated the point in that respect by becoming a baby and risking our circumstances too. He chose a way to infiltrate our ways of life by showing us what God is like. God heals people and does them good which is what Jesus did. Jesus invited us to a feast someday to be given in His Honor. When He expanded His circle of ministry He would teach the Kingdom. Many would be drawn and listen and really hear. He preached, "repent, for the God you think you know is here in His Government." But instead of great signs like putting down the Romans He got crucified. What a laugh Satan and his hordes had as Friday's here....BUT SUNDAY"S A COMING!!! He Arose triumphant and victorious. Even went so far as to insure the stone that held Him in the Tomb was rolled away so we could get inside and see. Most of all proving it did occur, his disciples risked everything to get the Message of the GOOD NEWS out: "He Is Not Here, He Is Risen!" Countless numbers of them would be docile as the lions of the Coliseum would ravage them. They indeed knew God had spoken. Do we? Scripture says, unshakeable things will remain but right now the shakable is being shaken. God is not willing that any should perish for He has no pleasure in the death of the wicked but only when they repent. "All things are possible," Jesus said, "to him who believes." Jesus says, in the dramatic present, "Let him who has ears to hear, really hear what the Holy Spirit is saying." John 14:6 Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth, and the Life, He that cometh to Father God must come by means of Me." Is it going to matter if we are rich toward God? You betcha!
