| How Much? |
| “How much did they leave?” |
| Have you ever heard this question asked at a funeral or in regard to the death of someone you knew? I certainly have! The real answer to that question is, “Everything.” The Bible unequivocally declares, “For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out” (1 Timothy 6:7). |
| The only thing that matters when a person leaves this world is whether they know the Lord as their Savior or not. With their last breath, a person’s eternity is fixed. Everything we accumulate and accomplish in this life means nothing unless we are saved and ready for the next life. |
| Here is what the Lord Himself said on the matter: |
| “A man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth … Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal … But rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven” (Luke 12:15; Matthew 6:19-20; Luke 10:20). |
