16th Answer about Religion by Chairman Man Hee Lee

The rich are not evil. 

There are two types of rich people: one is rich in terms of material wealth and the other is rich in spirit. 

The end result of someone materially wealthy and someone who is materially poor is the same.

They both have twenty-four hours and eat three meals a day. 

What is the difference?

However, it is different for those who are rich in spirit. If the rich cannot enter heaven, why did God give Job more possessions? 

People who are rich in spirit do not lack anything, so they become complacent and do not seek.

The materially rich feel like their bowls are still not full so they seek and work to gain more material wealth.

If one comes to know oneself and the true God, whether one has a lot of authority or much wealth, one would realize what the true treasure is and seek it. 

The true treasure is life. 

Rather than seeking food that perishes like a dream, people must seek after the food which does not perish and is eternal.

• 1 Peter 1:23

for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God.  

• Matthew 7:7-8 

"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. "For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
