These are the verses I'm focusing on in the New International Version translation:Matthew 19:24 "Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”Mark 10:25 "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”Luke 18:25 "Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”These are the very words of our Lord and Savior.You can call it "financially free" and not call it rich, but in the context that a 1st century building laborer turned itinerant preacher from the miserably poor Galilean hamlet of Nazareth would obviously mean the term "rich" in speaking to his fellows, you and I and practically everyone living in the developed world today qualify as RICH.So if you're doing this to heap on AN EMBARRASSMENT OF RICHES, I think the Message is clear.Should you plan for a financially secure future?
