| True Riches |
| “What shall a man give in exchange for his soul” (Mark 8:37)? |
| • Not the world, for it passes away. |
| “The world passeth away, and the lust thereof” (1 John 2:17). |
| • Not his wealth, for it is of no profit. |
| “Riches profit not in the day of wrath” (Proverbs 11:4). |
| • Not his honor for it perishes. |
| “Nevertheless man being in honor abideth not” (Psalm 49:12). |
| No, it is only in Christ that we can have a part in a world to come that will never cease. True riches and honor are found only in Him, and founded on the work of Calvary. “In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” (Ephesians 1:7). “That in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:7). |
| These are the “true riches” (Luke 16:11). Are they yours? |
