Jesus said, "it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven." "Who can be saved then?" His Disciples asked. "For men" He told them, "this is impossible, for God everything is possible"
Matthew 19:24

All things in Heaven and on earth are your Heavenly Father's. Wealth and possessions, land, authority over people are given or allowed by Him, and there is nothing outside His power and authority. All are His beloved children, created in His image. It follows that all should look to Him for the completion of their humanity by looking to Him in dependence for all things. So will He show them how to entertain right relationships, how to choose and engage in and prosper work, how to garner possessions and use them constructively for themselves and for the Father's Kingdom

As for salvation, that is through me, for so it has been given by My Father. And I have lived and suffered and died and risen again on earth to make it possible for every one of the Father's beloved children to rejoice with Him for ever in the company of the saved. For salvation is in and through My redeeming love and it is for all who respond in loving self-giving to that which I speak to their heart's centre. I am that which makes all things possible in the Father through Our loving, life-giving Spirit.
