AND HE SAID, THIS WILL I DO: I WILL PULL DOWN MY BARNS, AND BUILD GREATER; AND THERE WILL I BESTOW ALL MY FRUITS AND MY GOODS.
AND I WILL SAY TO MY SOUL, SOUL, THOU HAST MUCH GOODS LAID UP FOR MANY YEARS; TAKE THINE EASE, EAT, DRINK, AND BE MERRY.
BUT GOD SAID UNTO HIM, THOU FOOL, THIS NIGHT THY SOUL SHALL BE REQUIRED OF THEE: THEN WHOSE SHALL THOSE THINGS BE, WHICH THOU HAST PROVIDED?
SO IS HE THAT LAYETH UP TREASURE FOR HIMSELF, AND IS NOT RICH TOWARD GOD."
This is a good example of what God, (the God of the Holy Bible and there is only one God who is JESUS) wants for every soul on this planet. God wants us all to be rich indeed but He wants us to be rich toward God. How does one become rich toward God? The answer is found in the one and only Holy Bible in Joshua 1:8 which states,
"THIS BOOK OF THE LAW SHALL NOT DEPART OUT OF THY MOUTH; BUT THOU SHALT MEDIATE THEREIN DAY AND NIGHT, THAT THOU MAYEST OBSERVE TO DO ACCORDING TO ALL THAT IS WRITTEN THEREIN: FOR THEN THOU SHALT MAKE THY WAY PROSPEROUS, AND THEN THOU SHALT HAVE GOOD SUCCESS."
So there you have it my beloved. To be rich toward God one must be first a Christian and then second mediate, study, memorize and "observe" the book of the law which is the Holy Bible. Then and only then will you be rich toward God. Hallelujah!
193. WHERE IS HELL LOCATED? Hell is located in the center of this planet.
194. HOW DO WE LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR AS OURSELF? The second greatest commandment is found in the Holy Bible in Mark 12:29-31 which states,
"AND JESUS ANSWERED HIM, THE FIRST OF ALL THE COMMANDMENTS IS, HEAR, O ISRAEL; THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD:
AND THOU SHALT LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL THY HEART, AND WITH ALL THY SOUL, AND WITH ALL THY MIND, AND WITH ALL THY STRENGTH: THIS IS THE FIRST COMMANDMENT.
AND THE SECOND IS LIKE, NAMELY THIS, THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF. THERE IS NONE OTHER COMMANDMENT GREATER THAN THESE."
We see in these beautiful verses of holy Scripture that the second greatest commandment is in fact to love thy neighbour as thyself.
In order to love our neighbor as ourself we must go to Romans 13:10 which states,
"LOVE WORKETH NO ILL TO HIS NEIGHBOUR: THEREFORE LOVE IS THE FULFILLING OF THE LAW."
So we see in this portion of the WORD OF GOD that love worketh no ill to his neighbour, so in order to love our neighbour as ourself then we must not do any ill to our neighbour. So a person should love his neighbour as he loves himself.
A person does not steal from himself. A person does not maim himself. A person does not destroy himself. A person does not kill his own dog or cat or pet. A person does not kill or molest his own children. A person does not hurt his wife or mother or father or sister or brother. So likewise a person does not steal, maim, destroy, kill, molest, or hurt his or her neighbour!
195. WHEN THE ROLL IS CALLED UP YONDER WILL YOU BE THERE? In order for you to be on the roll you must first have accepted Jesus as your own personal Saviour. Have you done that as yet? If not then that would be your starting place. Go to the salvation page and then pray the salvation prayer from your heart to the heart of God almighty!
