God said to him (the Rich man) “You fool!
This very night your life is being demanded of you
and the things you have prepared, whose will they be? So it is with those who store up treasures for themselves but are not rich toward God.” –Luke 12:20-21
From Death To Life
You were dead through the trespasses and sins in which you once lived, following the course of the world, following the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work among those who are disobedient. All of us once lived among them in the passions of our flesh, following the desires of flesh and senses and we were by nature children of wrath, like everyone else but God who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ — by grace you have been saved and raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the Heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the immeasurable riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith and this is not your own doing; It is the gift of God, not the result of works so that no one may boast. For we are what He has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life. –Ephesians 2:1-10
The Parable of the Rich Fool
Someone in the crowd said to Him (Jesus), ‘Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me.’ Jesus said to him, “Friend, who set me to be a judge or arbitrator over you?”
Jesus then ministered to the crowd, “Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” Then Jesus told them a parable:
“The land of a rich man produced abundantly and he thought to himself, ‘What should I do, for I have no place to store my crops?’ Then he said, ‘I will do this. I will pull down my barns and build larger ones and there I will store all my grain and my goods and I will say to my soul, soul you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink and be merry.’ God (then) said to him, “You fool! This very night you life is being demanded of you and the things you have prepared, whose will they be? So it is with those who store up treasures for themselves but are not rich toward God.” –Luke 12:13-21
Jesus said, “The time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of God has come near; Repent and Believe in the Good News!” –Mark 1:15
