The secret to eternal life is…🤔❓️
It says that it is "humility" and "fear of the Lord."

…People…sometimes look down on those superior to themselves…and act humbly❗️.
However…😢
When they judge that they are superior…they sometimes adopt a proud attitude…
…The Bible…emphasizes the importance of "humility."
Humility is
one of the most important lessons in the Bible.
It leads to success in life.
…Conversely…pride leads to failure and death.
Proverbs 16:18 says
"Pride goes before ruin, and a proud heart goes before fall."
…❗️
…Wealth and honor…🤔.
Not all Christians…will receive wealth and honor…
on this earth.
…However…when you go to heaven, the world of eternal life, you will receive the honorable "crown of life 👑" and be given wealth far beyond anything in this world ✌️😆.

…Even if you follow Jesus…there are many Christians who are persecuted, lose their homes…lose their jobs…and ultimately become martyrs…wealth and honor are completely out of reach for them…😢
…However, in heaven, their reward is immense; a great reward (blessing) awaits them.

…Hebrews 10:23.
"Let us not be shaken, but let us take firm hope, for he who promised is faithful."
…Even if we are placed in difficult situations…and shaken…😨
let us trust in the faithfulness of the Lord.

Shalom 😃
