13 Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me.” 14 But He said to him, “Man, who appointed Me a judge or arbitrator over you?” 15 Then He said to them, “Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.” Luke 12:13-15

1 Thess. 5:23 - Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Life Does Not Consist of Material Things

Eph 2:10 - For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Life Does Not Consist of Material Things

Exodus 25:8 - "Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them. John 14:23 - Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. Why Did God Make Me?

Eccles. 7: I have seen everything during my lifetime of futility; there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his wickedness. 16 Do not be excessively righteous and do not be overly wise. Why should you ruin yourself? 17 Do not be excessively wicked and do not be a fool. Why should you die before your time? 18 It is good that you grasp one thing and also not let go of the other; for the one who fears God comes forth with both of them. If Ever A Man Felt Friction Between Both Worlds -- BALANCE

Eccles. 3:14 - I know that everything God does will remain forever; there is nothing to add to it and there is nothing to take from it, for God has so worked that men should fear Him. Fear of God Comes First

Eccles. 12:1, Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near when you will say, “I have no delight in them”; 6 Remember Him before the silver cord is broken and the golden bowl is crushed, the pitcher by the well is shattered and the wheel at the cistern is crushed; 7 then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it. Fear of God Comes First

John 10: The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. niv Jesus Promised An “Abundant Life”

Filled with an abundance of: GRACE 1 Timothy 1:12-14 MERCY 1 Peter 1:3 PARDON Isaiah 55:7 PEACE Psalm 37:11 An “Abundant Life” Indeed
