Kingdom Living - The Commands of Christ

DAY 65 OF 98

Commands of Christ: 63 

Beware of all greed. 

Jesus illustrated this command by telling the parable of the Rich Fool. Jesus made it clear that no matter how comfortable and pleasurable and easy you may be in this life, it will mean absolutely nothing if you are miserable and suffering for all eternity. He made it clear that being rich toward God is quite different than being rich in this world. In fact, in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus says we cannot serve both God and wealth. It is one or the other. They are mutually exclusive as a goal or a motivator. We will definitely be called upon many times to sacrifice our own comfort and pleasure in this life in order to serve the purposes of God.

About this Plan

Kingdom Living - The Commands of Christ

Our lives should be characterized by what Jesus commanded and as His followers we should be getting others to love (and thus obey) Him as well. This is not optional or for extra credit. It is the very essence of what it means to be His follower. "...teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you..." This is what Kingdom Living is all about.
