Subject: what does he mean about this verse |
Bible Note: In answer to your question about what this verse means It seems to be saying that a rich man cannot enter into the Kingdom of God, however, by rightly dividing the Word, according to John 3:16 'WHOEVER believes', and also 'God is not a respecter of persons" (Acts 10:34) would prove that it is possible for a rich man to go to heaven unless he is trusting in his riches to get him there. According to Jewish custom at the time wealth and riches were associated with the 'Blessings' of God, so the statement is declaring this is not the way to enter the Kingdom of God. |
