 「那些今世富足的人,不要自高,也不要倚靠無定的錢財;

只要倚靠那厚賜百物給我們享受的神。」

有錢就萬能嗎?

 

世上許多人都希望能賺很多錢,所謂「有錢萬事足」,甚至有人以賺錢為人生最大的目標。「人為財死」,許多人就這樣埋葬在錢財的陷阱裏。不錯,人生不能沒有錢,但金錢不是人生命的目的。

 

有人這樣說過:

 

有錢能買華廈, 但不能買安居；  有錢能買補品, 但不能買青春；

有錢能買美酒, 但不能買喜樂；  有錢能買書籍, 但不能買智慧；

有錢能買華服, 但不能買品格；  有錢能買名表, 但不能買光陰；

有錢能買錦被, 但不能買溫暖；  有錢能買藥品, 但不能買健康；

有錢能買睡床, 但不能買安眠；  有錢能買血漿, 但不能買生命；

有錢能買歡笑, 但不能買真情；  有錢能買保險, 但不能買安全；

有錢能買朋友, 但不能買知己；  有錢能買樂器, 但不能買知音；

有錢能買欲望, 但不能買知足；  有錢能買娛樂, 但不能買真福；

有錢能買食物, 但不能買食欲；  有錢能買婚姻, 但不能買愛情；

有錢能買名譽, 但不能買尊貴； 

有錢能買名貴棺材, 但不能買永生；

有錢能去環遊世界各國, 但不能靠錢進天國。

 

上面的話,並不是藐視錢財。人有錢不是犯罪,但有了錢,若忽略了人生命的真諦,那就得不償失了。因為,人還有最寶貴的靈魂,當你走完這世界的路程時,去那裏渡你的永世呢?那裏是你靈魂的最後歸宿呢?當你呼完最後一口氣的時候,誰帶領你行過那可怕的死亡幽谷呢?那時,不論你有多少錢,它不能救你,你也不能把它一起帶走。

 

創造天地宇宙萬物的主宰耶穌基督說:「人若賺得全世界,賠上自己的生命,有甚麼益處呢?人還能拿甚麼換生命呢?」如果你因賺錢而忽略了生命的歸宿,那是人生最大的悲劇。因祂是造你的主,祂愛你,賜給你有靈魂的生命和奇妙的身體,配合祂所創造的世界而生存。祂賜給你空氣、陽光、雨水和一切生存的條件和環境,但你卻忙於賺錢而不理祂、不信祂、悖逆祂,和魔鬼同奔滅亡的道路。因祂愛你,要救你脫離死亡。所以,祂到這個世界來做人,為你的罪死在十字架上,第三天然後復活升天,以後還要再來,接屬祂自己的人到天上,祂為他們預備的地方去。

 

天父藉着耶穌基督賜給我們的生命,比錢財更重要,你豈可對祂的慈愛無動於衷呢!請你相信祂,接受祂為你自己的救主罷!

“Those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor

   to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their

  hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoy-

ment.”

                                   ━HOLY BIBLE

 

IS MONEY ALL-POWERFUL?

 

Except small kids who have not yet learned the value of money, all people wish they could make a lot of money. They believe “once you have money, you have no more worries”. Some people even set their primary goal in life on making money. Some others are even willing to die for their fortune and thus bury themselves in the money trap. We admit that we cannot live if we are penniless. But making money definitely is not the primary goal of our pursuit in life.

 

The following has been said:

 

With money, you can buy mansions, but not dwelling in peace;

With money, you can buy good wine, but not pure joy;

With money, yon can buy fancy clothing, but not moral character;

With money, you can buy comforters for your bed, but not comfort in your soul;

With money, you can have laughters, but not real enjoyment;

With money, you can have friendship, but not real enjoyment;

With money, yon can satisfy your carnal lust, but not contentment in your heart;

With money, you can buy food, but not a healthy appetite;

With money, you can buy vitamins, but not youth;

With money, you can buy books, but not wisdom;

With money, you can buy a timepiece, but not time;

With money, you can buy blood, but not life;

With money, you can buy insurance, but not guaranteed security;

With money, you can buy entertainment, but not blessings;

With money, you can have a marriage, but not true love;

With money, you can buy a good name, but not nobility;

With money, you can buy costly coffins, but not eternal life;

With money, you can tour the world, but you cannot pay your way into the kingdom of heavens.

 

The above saying does not mean to belittle the role of money. Possession of wealth is not a sin. However, if wealth is amassed at the expense of the pursuit for the real meaning of life, then it will ruin you. You have a precious soul besides your physical body. At the end of your journey on earth, apart from your body being disintegrated into dust, your soul will have to find its final resting place. Where are you going to spend you eternity? Where will your soul rest eternally? When you take your very last breath, who will lead you through the valley of death? Then and there, you will realize that, no matter how great a fortune you have amassed on earth, your money cannot save you, and you cannot take a penny away with you.

 

Jesus Christ, the Lord of heavens and earth, says, “For what will a man be profited, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” lt would be a great tragedy if you, because of your pursuit for wealth, fail to find an eternal resting place for your soul. Jesus Christ is your Lord who loves you dearly. He has given you life, with a soul and a body. He has made it possible for you to live on this earth which He created. He provides you with air, sunshine, rain and all other essentials for your livelihood on this earth. However, so far your have turned away from Him, heading towards destruction with Satan. But, because He loves you so much and wants to save you from condemnation, lie died on the cross for you. After being buried for three days, He rose from the dead and later was taken up to heavens. One day He will come back to receive all who have trusted Him as Savior and take them to the heavenly place He has prepared for them.

 

God, our heavenly Father, has given us life, which is much more important than money. How can you ignore His great love? Please come to Jesus and trust in Him as your personal Savior!
