Indeed, people often assume that wealth is measured by how much of the world they possess; however, our true value is and has already been determined by He who gave His life for us all. That is, Jesus Christ. For we “were bought at a price…” (1Cor. 6:20); and nothing can ever lessen the value that God has placed upon our lives through Him who died for us while we were still sinners (Rom. 5:8).
Some may have more than others in terms of monetary gain, but in the end it all returns to the dust. The only thing that a person will be left with is their character; and it will either be fit for heaven or ripe for hell. The choices that we make throughout our lives will decide that.
Therefore, it becomes a question of how much value we place on God. Will we love Him enough to allow Him to take control of all of our worldly possessions, or will we choose to eat dust?
“Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.
But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.” (1 Timothy 6:6-11 NKJV)
