The Rich Man And The Kingdom Of Heaven

Read Matthew 19:23-29. These verses have had many people wondering if rich people will go to heaven. As we know from the Bible, God has in the past and continues to bless His children with abundant blessings and wealth. Look at King Solomon and King David. So we know that this verse can’t mean that all rich people won’t go to heaven or else it would be contradicting God’s Word about blessing His people with prosperity. But not all people can handle wealth as it will corrupt and destroy their lives, their family and their relationship with God. When money comes their way, they no longer place God first in their lives but put money and the things it can buy first. These are the people Jesus is referring to in these verses. Then there are those who "can" handle money. It doesn’t change them or their relationship with God and they remain responsible. They are obedient to God and share what God has given them. God has to bless some people with this kind of wealth so that large ministries can be developed like taking God’s Word to every corner of the world. That takes a lot of great wealth that someone must be willing to share. Not all ministries need this kind of money though. Some are operating with a lot less and in poor sections of the world but they are doing the exact kind of ministry that God wants them to do. If this kind of great wealth is coming into your life you can count on the Holy Spirit being there to guide you and to instruct you as to who to give to and how much.

Other "Money Verses"

There are many Christians who believe that they shouldn’t have many material possessions or much money largely in part to 1 Timothy 6:10. They think God is telling them here that money is the root of all evil. It doesn’t say that. It says the "love of money" is the root of all evil. Money isn’t evil in itself, it’s loving it that is. We are to love God. Mark 10:23-24 is another misinterpreted verse. It’s not saying that it’s hard for those who are rich to get to heaven, it’s saying that it is if you "trust" in your riches more than you trust in God. Money is not bad, it’s trusting in it that’s bad. Mark 4:19 is another misinterpreted verse. This verse is not saying that riches chokes the Word, it’s saying that the "deceitfulness" of riches "and the desires for other things" chokes the Word, not riches alone.
