“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.”
Deuteronomy 8:18 KJV
When Jesus said that you can either serve material wealth or God; that it is hard for those who trust in riches to enter into the Kingdom of God - that it disqualifies rich people from going to heaven. On careful reading of these Scriptures, we find that if the heart trusts in riches and that we worship material wealth, we are disqualified. The purpose of God giving us the power to get wealth is only to establish the Gospel and the Kingdom of God. For we know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for our sakes He became poor, that we through His poverty might be rich. Jesus made this exchange on the Cross to take away poverty to make us rich to establish His Kingdom here on earth. Praise God!
