For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Matthew 16:26-27 KJV
We have to be fully sold out to God. Our being needs to be in our heavenly Father.
The Lord Jesus said that man shall gain nothing from this world for naked came I and naked goeth. We are more complete in Jesus, and we are happier in Him. For we were created through Him and for Him.
For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory forever. Amen. Romans 11:36 KJV.
Our glory comes from the spiritual cloth that Jesus gives through the Holy Spirit. Jesus said I go to the Father, and I will send you a Counselor. The Counselor, the Holy Spirit, comes in us and clothes us with glory. If a man gains the whole world but loses his own soul it’s because the man has distanced himself from God because of the riches he has obtained for fear that his riches will be used for God’s work. But if the man lives in God, the cloth of glory abides on him, and he can never be naked. The cloth of glory vindicates us from any judgment.
May you read more on these verses and get the wisdom behind it. May you not struggle to understand the word of God today.
Have a blessed day.
Amen
