Will the rich enter the kingdom of heaven?

Then said Jesus unto his disciples: Verily I say unto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Matthew 19:23, 24

Difficult, but not impossible. Why is the reason for this? Could it be that our Father prefers us poor and needy ? No, what our Father wants from us is to be humble of heart and spirit.

Our Father says:

"I said that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, and if someone asks Me if he who has wealth is condemned to ever rejoice with the delights of My Realm, I say to him that when that heart would deprive himself of his greed, his egotism, and his materiality, he would cease to be the miserly rich, and then he would be able to enter My Kingdom. My justice never condemns anyone and much less eternally". T 71:64

The same as for the incarnated spirit to lack material goods is a test, a crucible that tempers and helps it to advance on the road, that which also possesses great material wealth is being submitted to a large test that implies a great responsibility, and in many cases, for the incarnated spirit, it is much more difficult to surpass.

In the same manner as it is for the knowledgeable to have the obligation to teach the ignorant, in the same fashion he who has been given material goods, has the obligation of sharing with those who have the least. But, on many occasions, he who lives in opulence is so busy enjoying his material things, or in multiplying them that he forgets completely about his brethren's necessities, moreover, he has forgotten to thank God for all the things that he was allowed to have.

However, he who gives a bit of what is left over, not as an act of love or because he truly feels the need of his brother, but as a means to shut off the voice of his conscience, thinking that he may be "buying indulgences to allow him an entrance to heaven", does not know what true charity really is, and his giving has no merit before our Father.

...whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 1 John 3:17

How different our world would be if those who have been granted large material fortunes would learn to share with those that lack everything; instead of seeing their treasures multiply for their own benefit, would see them multiply in goods for the needy! Then they would be like Joseph, son of Jacob that by placing his faith in God, he made goods on earth grow for the benefit of all.

"I want that everything be yours, but that you should know how to take conscientiously what you need; that you know how to be rich in the spiritual, and that you may possess much in the material if you know how to make good use of it, and give the one and the other its true value and place".

"In what way can the spirit of an immensely wealthy man harm himself if what he possesses is for the benefit of his fellowmen? And, in what way can a powerful man harm himself if his spirit knows when to move aside opportunely to pray, and with his prayer, be in communion with Me?" T 294:38

This which to many may seem impossible, in the future may be a reality because there is no Divine word or prophesy that will not be complied with. Whenever he who possesses large riches keeps them for himself, reaches the limits of his ambitions and wishes of grandeur, he will raise his eyes to the sky tired of the futile fruit that his material treasures have rendered, and shall realize that even with all of his worldly power will he be able to fill the emptiness of his spirit.

"This is the period when sinners will save the sinners, and in which the dead will revive and raise their dead. The hardened hearts, those who have seen the widow pass by, and the orphan, the hungry, and the sick, unmoved to their moral fibers, are going to awaken to love; they will be shaken by the pain of others, and their egoism will be destroyed. They will even forget about themselves in order to share with the suffering of their brethren". T 84:34

"The time draws near when the truth, reason, and the light, shall be those that will impose on the violence, the force, and on fear. But when will man be able to say, as Jesus: "My kingdom is not of this world", without disregarding anything created, taking everything with moderation, recognizing that the earthly possessions are temporary? Understand that the true strength is in the spirit; that the power on Earth, its vanities, its glories, and the splendor of its science, regardless of its length of reign, succumbs before eternity". T 126:33
