What the world casts off and flees from, we can gather up and embrace. True riches are spiritual, not material. True happiness is found in the love and possession of true riches. Your heavenly Father knows you need them all. Set your hearts on His kingdom first, and on righteousness, and all these other things will be given you as well.
True life is eternal life.
Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not be lost but may have eternal life. Let your thoughts be on heavenly things, not on the things that are on earth, because you have died, and now the life you have is hidden with Christ in God. But when Christ is revealed and He is your life you, too, will be revealed in all your glory with Him. I have told you often, and I repeat it today with tears, there are many who are behaving as the enemies of the Cross of Christ. They are destined to be lost.
