The Rich Fool: The Consequence of Not Having a Rich Relationship With God

Luke 12:21 | “Yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God.”

Matthew 7:21-23 | “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’
