LESSON FROM THE RICH FOOL

LESSON FROM THE RICH FOOL - LUKE 12:16-21 Read and Share if you care...
…“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.

Basic Truths:
He was rich in treasures of this world but was poor towards God.
He did not go to hell because he was a rich man.
He was very selfish and did not care about the poor.
He trusted in unrighteous riches and not in God.

What God Expects from us:
God expects us to believe and accept Jesus Christ his only son as our Lord and Saviour (Be Born Again John 3:16, and converted as a little child Matt 18:3)…The only recommended atonement for our sins and the only redemption for the soul of man. Acts 4:12.

God expects us to lay our treasures in heaven thereby being rich towards Him… In alms giving, praying, reading His word and in obedient tithing and offering, evangelism, supporting our local church and other Kingdom services Matt 6:20.

God expects us to walk in holiness and righteousness…. Putting away every unclean thing since our body is His temple and eschewing evil. Lev 20:7, Job 1:1, Heb 4:14, 12:14.
