I was just thinking back a couple of weeks and I was reading about the rich man and Lazarus and I asked myself a question. The Bible never said the rich man never confessed or believed. The question I had was the Bible says to confess with thy mouth and believe with thy heart that Christ died on the cross for our sins because he loved us that much. On the other hand, Abraham told the rich man exactly why he was in hell. Now, I got on my knees and asked God to enlighten me with understanding, so I prayed. When I got up from praying, I turned on the TV to the TBN channel and the preacher said, “believing is obeying.” Now many say they believe, but they don’t live by it.
Many people I see everyday and I just wonder if they think about this just as I do. I guess what I’m saying is many people I see everyday follow the rich man’s ways. They treat the poor just like the rich man treated Lazarus. I ask that Christians should give this some thought and I pray they don’t get caught up in the same situation as the rich man. Many follow his footsteps.
