Os ensinamentos de Jesus sobre generosidade e desapego material
Jesus nos ensinou que a verdadeira riqueza está em investir no Reino de Deus, não nos bens materiais. Obviamente, não estamos sendo literais, é claro que queremos que você tenha suas coisas e conquistas, mas saiba que isso é matéria, é mundando.
A riqueza que realmente engrandece sua alma, é àquela do Reino dos Céus, a riqueza da fé, do Amor de nosso Deus. Então tome cuidado com excessos, consumismo, materialismo… nada disso será bom para você, muito menos agradará a Deus.
