[Must Read] Why the poor will make heaven and not the rich | See

What the bible says about the poor making heaven.

The Bible has a great deal to say in regards to being poor, and we have numerous precedents of needy individuals in Scripture. Since material riches is anything but a beyond any doubt sign of God's favoring, being poor isn't really an indication of God's objection. Truth be told, it is conceivable to be poor in material things yet wealthy in profound things (see Revelation 2:9). 

Obviously, some of the time being poor is the after effect of terrible decisions. The Bible cautions that Laziness will prompt being poor: "A little rest, a little sleep,/a bit of collapsing of the hands to rest—/and destitution will come on you like a cheat/and shortage like a furnished man" (Proverbs 24:33– 34; cf. 6:11). Following wild dreams will in like manner prompt destitution: "The individuals who pursue dreams will have their fill of neediness" (Proverbs 28:19), as will neglecting to notice savvy guidance: "Destitution and disrespect come to him who disregards guidance" (Proverbs 13:18, ESV). 

In different spots, the Bible depicts needy individuals as having been honored, and numerous who are rich are found in a negative light. Jesus Himself was poor, not having a home or a "place to lay his head" (Matthew 8:20). The devotees and a large portion of Jesus' adherents were poor, in any event in common terms, yet wealthy in otherworldly riches. The pupils even left all they needed to tail Him, surrendering all they claimed, putting their full trust in Him to give what they required. Jesus said the poor will dependably be with us (Matthew 26:11). There is no disgrace in being poor. Our demeanor ought to be that of the essayist in Proverbs who stated, "Give me neither destitution nor wealth, however give me just my every day bread" (Proverbs 30:8). 

The rich are for the most part depicted contrarily in the Bible. Riches itself is viewed as a block to the individuals who want to enter the kingdom of God. Jesus announced, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!" (Mark 10:23), and He rehashed this announcement in the exact next section. For what reason did He put forth such a stunning expression? Since the rich tend to trust in their wealth more than in God. Riches tends to pull us far from God. 

The tale of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19– 31) shows the transitory idea of wealth. The rich man delighted in incredible extravagance in life however spent endlessness in hellfire as a result of his insatiability and avarice. Lazarus endured the outrages of extraordinary destitution yet was helped in paradise until the end of time. Jesus Himself left His royal position in paradise keeping in mind the end goal to go up against the modest type of a poor man. Paul said of Him, "For you know the beauty of our Lord Jesus Christ, that however he was rich, yet for the wellbeing of you he ended up poor, with the goal that you through his destitution may end up rich" (2 Corinthians 8:9). 

Sooner or later, as Christians we should ask ourselves: What are we truly doing here in this transitory place? Where is our heart (Luke 12:34)? It is safe to say that we are truly denying ourselves? It is safe to say that we are extremely giving conciliatorily as did the poor dowager (Luke 21:1– 4)? To pursue Jesus is to take up our cross (Luke 9:23). This way to truly give our aggregate lives to Him, unhampered by the things of this world. In the story of the sower, wealth resemble "thistles": "The stresses of this life and the misdirection of riches stifle [the Word], making it unfruitful" (Matthew 13:22). 

It is those thistles, "the stresses of this life" and the "trickery of riches," the not really unobtrusive devices of Satan, that draw us far from God and His Word. The Bible paints for us a differentiation between the individuals who are poor yet wealthy in Christ and the individuals who are rich yet without God.
