No Servant Can Be The Slave of Two Masters - WalterH75 - 10-19-2024
Luke 16:13, 'No servant can be the slave of two masters: he will either hate the first and love the second, or treat the first with respect and the second with scorn. You cannot be the slave both of God and of money.'
We can't fill our heart with the love of God and the love of the things of this world. Our hearts need to be filled to be filled with either love for God or love for the things of this world. When we invest our love in God, we will be blessed with joy, happiness, peace, freedom and eternal life. If we direct our love for the things of this world like, materialism and money and all the other perishable, temporary things of this world, we don't get anything in return, maybe temporary happiness. Then we're off seeking more temporary happiness.
Working for our salvation is serious business because it can bring us eternal life with God. Working for the things that are temporary will only keep us disconnected from God and our salvation can be in jeopardy. Work for the things you need like, salvation, food, clothing and shelter.
Luke 16:14,15, 'The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and laughed at him. He said to them, 'You are the very ones who pass yourselves off as virtuous in people's sight, but God knows your hearts. For what is thought highly of by man is loathsome in the sight of God.' Impress people with your love for God and for your fellowman, not with the things of this passing world. Store up your treasures in heaven.'
God Bless You
