Before knowing Jesus Christ, the prevailing value system was focused on worldly prosperity.
...Of course, God rejoices in such prosperity...but if that prosperity becomes the number one priority...😓
That becomes idolatry...
...Let's look specifically at some of the misconceptions that people fall into.
...The first misconception is that many people believe "wealth is the greatest guarantee of happiness."
...The second misconception is living without acknowledging that "we are mortal beings."
...Everyone knows that they are mortal beings...but when you talk about "death," you're met with rejection, being told it's "bad luck."
...The third misconception is the belief that "you can be happy without knowing the truth of the Bible."

…Without understanding the true nature of humanity as revealed by the truth of the Bible… No matter how much one prospers with worldly glory, power, and wealth,
…Without Jesus Christ, who grants eternal life, there is no true happiness❗️.
…When a person dies, they can take nothing with them, nor does their glory descend with them.
…People are born naked and depart naked…
Only faith, hope, and love in Jesus Christ.
These three invisible things
lead us to a blessed life and eternal heaven.
Shalom 😃
