It is hard to get rich people into the Kingdom of God. Why? Their heart is where their treasure is. But, nothing is impossible with God. What does God have to do to get a heart to transition from earth to heaven? Show them how valuable salvation, eternal life, and the Kingdom of God are. That is what the Bible is all about. Until we can see how valuable it all is, we will have some kind of treasure holding our heart to this earth. No exceptions.

The next thing that makes it hard to get a rich person into the Kingdom of God is what it takes to get and stay rich.

• It takes a lot of time for most people to get and stay rich.
• It can take most of their efforts as they concentrate, plan, study, strategize and implement their plan.
• It takes making sure that the wealth is stored. To be rich is to have a lot of money, resources, and assets accumulated and owned or possessed.

Jesus is the only One Who can set us free from the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth (Matthew 13:22). He is helping us see things from the issues of eternity so we won’t get distracted by the temporal concerns of this world and life.
