Real Life

There are many illusions and delusions in our midst. One of the most attractive ones is that the rich and the proud seem to be easy going and have no worries of life because they are simply wealthy. It is a powerful appeal to all people since the fall of man. But that's not true. If you can, interview them and ask a couple of questions starting with, "Are you worry free?" They might respond back to you, "Are you nuts?" It doesn't mean that being rich is wrong and everyone is supposed to be poor. Nothing is wrong to be rich or poor. What matters is to find true reality and truth in life. That is the main thing. This is the age of deceit and deception. It is so natural to be what you want to be by earning money, fame, and status in old and this age. So, as far as man can and as fast as he can, he drives himself to that direction. But our God knows our hearts what we are thinking and reveals it by the words of the Son Jesus. True life is found in Him only as the scriptures confirm consistently. Jesus says, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." There are things in heaven and things on earth. There are invisible things and visible things. What is seen is not all but what is unseen is reality. The kingdom of God is in our inner thought world where God reigns. So, when man enters into the realm of the kingdom of God, he has now begun to live a real life. That’s the beginning of new and eternal life in Jesus Christ.  

"But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’ “So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.” (Luke 12:20-21 NKJV)

“Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:16-18 NKJV)
