You Cannot Take It With You

"Those who trust in their wealth and boast in the multitude of their riches, none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him..."
– Psalm 49:6-7

We have heard that two things are certain in this life: taxes and death. This song was written about both money and death. That no matter how much money is accumulated in this life, it cannot spare anyone from the certainty of dying. And, that comes to all the inhabitants of the earth, “both low, and high, rich and poor together.”

This is not a popular topic to discuss, yet it must be addressed. There are many misunderstandings in the world today about eternity. Everyone begins to wonder what happens after this life at one time or another. Many want to ignore the subject. As believers in Jesus Christ, though, we have great hope!

We cannot take anything with us when we die. No amount of wealth can save our souls or the life of another. Wealth can be an excellent legacy to leave, but the better gift is leaving others with the knowledge and wisdom of the Lord, Jesus Christ. It is the wealth of knowledge of Him that brings true redemption.

I know many family members and friends in religions that teach another gospel. I will say this plainly, they are wrong. There is only one way into heaven and only one provision made. That is through the Messiah, Jesus! If you are searching for the truth today, God will reveal Himself to you. My hope and prayer is that He does, and you begin walking with Jesus today in the newness of life!

"For the Scripture says, 'Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.' For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
- Romans 10:11-13
