We need money to survive in this world, but we shouldn’t put too much emphasis on it because it might ruin our life. People who have been called out like us need to know what their purpose on earth. We will lose our salvation if we are unable to recognize our aim.
According to Jesus, if we uphold his justice, then all of our needs will be met. The Bible teaches us that none of God’s people ever experienced financial hardship. So that we can imitate their lifestyle to avert God’s anger.
God warns us against being prudent with our financial planning since nothing will be profitable what we save. Therefore, by performing good things on earth, we can store money for heaven.
The following Bible Verses will help us to know why saving money is useless and how can we overcome this kind of foolish act by following Jesus.
