"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon." -Matthew 6:24
"And again I say to you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." -Matthew 19:24

THE RICH MAN and LAZARUS
-Luke 19-31
At some point in each of our lives we must choice, God our Creator the Father of Salvation or the riches of this world's; money, wealth, power, pleasantries, i.e. the finer things of life. It's not that you can't be well off or have some money in the bank or some nice possessions, but they cannot come before your Father in Heaven and His Son Jesus Christ. Have a warm home, comfortable clothes, clean water, and nourishing food and be humble, happy, blessed, and give thanks always. All that we have and are by is and because of the Glory of God.
Christians do not believe in Jesus as their Savor and clink to God's word (Inspired KJB1611) because they are poor or uneducated and need some kind of crutch to believe in to survive. They simple don't have as many distractions of today's world, like holding on to money, keeping others from taking it, and maintaining their possessions. They also by and large aren't as brain washed by todays "Public Fool System" and the pseudoscience we are surrounded by. God is the author of the inspired men who wrote the Holy bible (AKJ1611) and the head scientist who created everything including us.
He gives us complete free will and asks nothing of us but to be worshipped as such. He does not force us to worship him even thought we would be better off if he did. He wants us to freely worship and praise him. He is a righteous, perfect and Holy Father who loves us beyond our comprehension. He desires us to be connected and one day united with him. We our saved by grace and not by our works. There is nothing we can do to achieve internal life the Him.
"CONFESS WITH THY MOUTH THE LORD JESUS, AND SHALT BELIEVE IN THINE HEART THAT GOD HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, THOU SHALT BE SAVED."
-Romans 10:09
It is truly that simple. Doesn't matter whether you are young, old, or on your death bed, but it must be authentic and only God truly knows if it is. Remember we are not promised tomorrow, and you cannot be saved from the grave.
We live in the only time in history where a Christian can lose his or her salvation. If we take the mark of the beast whatever that is and worship the Devil, the Son of Perdition our name will be blotted out of the Lambs Book of Life. There are 23 mentions of this in the AKJB1611. Most notably Revelation 3:05 and 22:19. Also read Deuteronomy 25:6 & 29:20, Numbers 27:04,
