What characteristics of a rich person make it harder to receive the Kingdom of God?
Attachment to earthly possessions hence selfreliance and feeling that he can do without God. Danger to fall into pride. Possibly selfishness too. Everything is on loan to be used for the good of others. Obeying to the Commandments is the minimum a duty. By: Alessandra Parrini - November 29, 2006 - Public Category: The Rich Ruler
A certain ruler asked
him, saying, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal
life?"
Jesus asked him,
"Why do you call me good? No one is good, except
one--God. You know the
commandments: 'Don't commit adultery,' 'Don't murder,' 'Don't steal,'
'Don't give false testimony,' 'Honor your father and your
mother.'" He said, "I have
observed all these things from my youth up."
When Jesus heard
these things, he said to him, "You still lack one
thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. You will
have treasure in heaven. Come, follow me." But when he heard
these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
Jesus, seeing that he
became very sad, said, "How hard it is for those who
have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God! For it is easier for a camel to
enter in through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the
Kingdom of God." Those who heard it
said, "Then who can be saved?"
But he said, "The things which are impossible with men are possible with
God." Peter said,
"Look, we have left everything, and followed you."
He said to them,
"Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has
left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the Kingdom
of God's sake, who will
not receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come,
eternal life."
