Core Interrelations
CONSOLIDATION:
Recognize the harmful desires in your heart and value
overcoming them (even though people may approve of them), showing the Lord you care about Him
and His way of life, his everlasting principles. Repent of things like your preoccupation
with money and worldly things. Turn, and forcefully do things in the other
direction, toward the Lord.
For those who get puffed up and think they are better than others, God will take action to help overcome this harmful problem.
The rich will only enter the kingdom of heaven with great difficulty; it is hard to give away a large portion of your wealth (see also LK 19:1-10), (soften the heart and repent of that selfishness). God will bestow many blessings of heaven on those who give things up for Jesus' sake (don't grumble against God's generosity toward other believers).
You can do amazing things to help people when you believe. God will put us to work in fruitful ways and reward us after we are finished.
If you refuse Jesus you will not overcome the harm that is within you. Rather, your
insensitivity (hard-heartedness) will cause God to disconnect from you and then you will
be overcome by your harmful desires.
