Mark 10:25 (NKJV) 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
Today we want to take a couple minutes to dispel a myth and expose a false teaching in the church.
The verse above has been used by many to try and convince believers that God hates wealth, He wants them to be poor and that having money will keep a person out of heaven. This is a blatant lie.
The verse above states that it can be difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven, but He never said that it was impossible.
The difference between the rich man who makes it and the one who doesn’t is in their priorities.
A rich man who puts his money first will surely have a difficult time entering into the kingdom of heaven. But a rich man who loves God and handles his wealth according to God’s principles, putting God first, will have no trouble whatsoever entering into the kingdom of heaven.
Money is simply a tool. We use it to buy things we need. It can’t buy love, happiness, satisfaction or salvation. But it can make our lives a whole lot easier if there is no lack of it and we handle it properly.
Remember, it is the love of money that is the root of all evil, not money itself!
