Scripture: Proverbs 11:4 Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death. (NIV)
Nugget: All of the money in the world cannot get you into heaven; and once you pass on, you cannot take the money or other possessions with you. The most important part of living a righteous life is to accept Jesus as your personal Savior.
Jesus died for our sins; no one else could’ve done what He did for us. In focusing on wealth & possessions, we lose focus on Jesus. It’s okay to have nice things & wealth, as God wants us to live according to His plan; but what is it to have these things without the Lord as part of your life?
Quote: “Jesus Christ is to me the outstanding personality of all time, all history, both as Son of God and as Son of Man. Everything he ever said or did has value for us today and that is something you can say of no other man, dead or alive. There is no easy middle ground to stroll upon. You either accept Jesus or reject him.” -Sholem Asch
