1 Timothy 6:6-7 –6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.
There is a couple of questions that should intrigue everyone who reaches the age of 12 at least. Everyone dies and goes somewhere. Where are they going?
The fact that many people avoid that question already reveals there is a problem with the human mind. It’s inevitable, people are born and then they die.
I believe most of the people who give the answer you can’t possibly know so I don’t worry about it, are the ones that aren’t looking too hard.
Another question; if we don’t take anything out of this world physically, why do so many try to build an abundance before they leave?
Why are the ones who love things so much, not that excited about sharing them equally with others? Why does one have no problem making $10M dollars has four homes that equal the same amount allow others to starve to death around the world?
When one looks at the world, it’s not hard to see there seems to be a lot of problems in human thinking. How can aid come into a country for starving people and yet outlaws and pirates are willing to steal it for their own gain and let thousands starve?
The pages of the Bible live, because God’s Word lives.
The only thing we are taking out is what we have done, good or bad. Did we ask for forgiveness or are we hard hearted? Did we live for God or did we live for ourselves?
Nothing physically goes out. To be content with what we have is great gain. It shows faith and belief in His Word.
