Can a rich man enter the Kingdom of Heaven? the bible says that it is easier for a camel to enter through an eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. I guess the first thing we must define is the Kingdom of Heaven. The kingdom is not only refered to as the cellestial state but also the terestial state. The Kingdom of God is not only in the after life but also the present life. The next word we need to define is rich. This rich is not only in financial wealth but also spiritual wealth. Now when we take this all together we read it as:
It is easier for a camel to enter through an eye of a needle than someone who is wealthy in finances, emotional, spiritual and such.
WHY?
Because in order for someone to come to Christ he must lose himself, humble himself and give up some of the pleasures of life. A person who is too rich and prideful will not do that. That is why it is easier for a camel to enter through an eye of a needle.
Madonna, Britanty Spears, Mr. T, Mase, Gary Buisy, and other who have tried to confess Christ have all failed because they have refused to give up themselves for God.
A person who doe snot know how to place God first and worry about what God thinks rather than what others think will never find God. People are too busy trying to please other people rather than trying to please God and do what is right.
We need to seek the Kigdom of God first and then all the wealth both spiritual and fiancial will follow us.
