Genesis 3:6
King James Version
6 And when the woman saw
that the tree was good for food,
and that it was pleasant to the eyes,
and a tree to be desired to make one wise,
she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat,
and gave also unto her husband with her;
and he did eat.
What are the three pillars of wealth?
The world declares it's stocks, bonds, and real estate.
Where has that taken us so far?
Greed, chaos, lust, vanity, war, and godlessness.
In contrast, the born again has a different story to tell.
For us, the three pillars of wealth are:
GOD, JESUS, and the HOLY SPIRIT.
These verses attest to that.
In the wisdom of believing in CHRIST.
And the insanity of worldly wealth that makes our souls perish:
Deuteronomy 8:18-20
King James Version
18 But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God:
for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth,
that he may establish his covenant
which he sware unto thy fathers,
as it is this day.
19 And it shall be,
if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God,
and walk after other gods,
and serve them, and worship them,
I testify against you this day
that ye shall surely perish.
20 As the nations which the Lord destroyeth
before your face,
so shall ye perish;
because ye would not be obedient
unto the voice of the Lord your God.
Matthew 6:19-20
King James Version
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth,
where moth and rust doth corrupt,
and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt,
and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Matthew 6:24-25
King James Version
24 No man can serve two masters:
for either he will hate the one, and love the other;
or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.
Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
25 Therefore I say unto you,
Take no thought for your life,
what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink;
nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.
Is not the life more than meat,
and the body than raiment?
Matthew 6:31-34
King James Version
31 Therefore take no thought, saying,
What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink?
or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:)
for your heavenly Father knoweth
that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow:
for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
John 15:5
King James Version
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches:
He that abideth in me, and I in him,
the same bringeth forth much fruit:
for without me ye can do nothing.
1 Corinthians 10:14
King James Version
14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved,
flee from idolatry.
Philippians 4:19-20
King James Version
19 But my God shall supply all your need
according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
20 Now unto God and our Father
be glory for ever and ever.
Amen.
1 Timothy 6:6-10
King James Version
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into this world,
and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and raiment
let us be therewith content.
9 But they that will be rich
fall into temptation and a snare,
and into many foolish and hurtful lusts,
which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil:
which while some coveted after,
they have erred from the faith,
and pierced themselves through
with many sorrows.
1 Timothy 6:17-19
King James Version
17 Charge them that are rich in this world,
that they be not highminded,
nor trust in uncertain riches,
but in the living God,
who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
18 That they do good,
that they be rich in good works,
ready to distribute,
willing to communicate;
19 Laying up in store for themselves
a good foundation against the time to come,
that they may lay hold on eternal life.
Hebrews 13:5-8
King James Version
5 Let your conversation be without covetousness;
and be content with such things as ye have:
for he hath said,
I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
6 So that we may boldly say,
The Lord is my helper,
and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
7 Remember them which have the rule over you,
who have spoken unto you the word of God:
whose faith follow,
considering the end of their conversation.
8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday,
and to day, and for ever.
Let our riches be in CHRIST.
That we may be prepared for His coming.
Which can be at any moment.
2 Peter 3:10-14
King James Version
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night;
in the which the heavens
shall pass away with a great noise,
and the elements shall melt with fervent heat,
the earth also and the works that are therein
shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved,
what manner of persons ought ye to be
in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting
unto the coming of the day of God,
wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved,
and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we,
according to his promise,
look for new heavens and a new earth,
wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved,
seeing that ye look for such things,
be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace,
without spot,
and blameless.
