Blessings Greater Than Riches/The Way to Everlasting Blessings

Clearly, we can only find true and lasting happiness after we properly satisfy our spiritual needs.  If we put God first, we will find that every aspect of our lives becomes richer and more rewarding.

Thankfully, we can say that money will not always be a cause for concern. The Bible assures us of a future when greedy and exploitative commerce will be permanently removed. (1 John 2:15-17) God's new system of things that follows will be governed by his righteous principles.  The earth will be transformed into a paradise as God originally purposed it to be when he put the first couple upon it.  What a blessing it will be to see the entire earth filled with happiness, peace, and love! -Isaiah 2:-2-4; 2 Peter 3:13; 1 John 4:8-11.

Life at that time will not be austere or dull. Material blessings will accompany the spiritual as God fulfills his original purpose for humans to live forever in a paradise earth. We are assured that there will be enough food, shelter, and meaningful work for all. Poverty will be completely eradicated. -Psalm 72:16; Isaiah 65:21-23; Micah 4:4. 

Everyone who sincerely exercises faith in Jehovah, the God of the Bible, will not be disappointed.   (Romans 10:11-13)  How wise, therefore, to pursue now the blessings that are greater than riches! -1 Timothy 6:6-10.
