Money = Happiness?

They used to say, "Money can't buy happiness" but now that tune has changed. According to a new study, money CAN buy happiness. The problem though is that money still can't buy you what's most important... eternity in Heaven. Even if you're buried with all of your possessions, they don't follow you into the afterlife. Jesus said, "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?" (Mark 8:36

Have you ever coveted something before (jealously desired the possessions of another person)? “You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's” (Exodus 20:17). If you've broken this commandment (sin) of God, then you are guilty and in danger of heading for an eternity in Hell. Does this concern you? No amount of money will buy your way out of Hell, but God made a way for you to escape the fire!

Jesus Christ (God in the flesh) was born of a virgin and lived a perfect life, having never coveted or sinned in any way. He came to earth for one reason... to die... for you. He was beaten, whipped, kicked, punched, and murdered by hanging on a cross. Jesus took your place and paid your fine (see Romans 6:23) with His blood. Three days later, He rose from the grave (literally) and defeated death. Now, Jesus offers you the gift of eternal life (escape from Hell and entrance to Heaven). Jesus said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). In order to be born again, you must turn away from your sins (repent) and trust Jesus Christ with your life.
