Why do ungodly people have everything in life?

Answer 1

We all have out "gods", for some it's the material things of life. Some of us value family, some value their spiritual beliefs, some value intellect. Whatever YOU think is important becomes your God.

Biblical counselMatthew 6 tells of numerous people who have "already received their reward" on earth, but not in Heaven. Matthew 16:27 says, "For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done."

Luke 18:18-30 A certain ruler asked him, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good�except God alone. You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.'" "All these I have kept since I was a boy," he said. When Jesus heard this, he said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was a man of great wealth. Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! 25Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." Those who heard this asked, "Who then can be saved?" Jesus replied, "What is impossible with men is possible with God." Peter said to him, "We have left all we had to follow you!" "I tell you the truth," Jesus said to them, "no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God 30will fail to receive many times as much in this age and, in the age to come, eternal life."

Luke 12:32-34 "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Reality of lifeBad things do happen to good people, and good things do happen to bad people.

Of course it depends on one's understanding of bad things and good things. What is bad things to some, maybe good things to others.

AnswerAlso, I myself am an atheist (as ungodly as you get) and I have lived a life of relative poverty thusfar, care for a disabled parent etc. I definitely do not have everything. However I am a very highly ethical and upright person and am not undeserving of a few of the finer things in life, as you may imagine.

Sinners sometimes seem blessed. This can happen because Satan does not work as hard against them sometimes. The devil hates Christians. This is why the closer we get to GOD the more the devil fight against us, but do not worry God gives us power over Satan.

Also , God wants our focus to be on him. We should walk by faith not sight. We need to learn to lean on JESUS.

GOD´S PROMISEWorry not, my righteous brothers. God is so smart and amazing. He lets the sinners get rich, not for themselves but for us. See their riches are temporarily theirs. God promised that He will turn over the riches over the wicked to the righteous so that we may use it for His works. God asks us to have "hupumone," or cheerful constancy as we wait for the fulfillment of that promise. Let us not be discouraged. Let us be encourage because in the end we will have the last laugh. Thank you, Lord, for not making me like one of those tax collectors...There are rich Christians, and poor non-believers. Where is your heart? That's where your treasure is. AnswerThere are rich and poor Christians. There are rich and poor athiests. There are rich and poor individuals of other religions.

Conclusion: a persons supernatural beliefs have no impact on how well they do in life, unless they influence their financial or business decisions in some way.

AnswerMatthew 5

"He maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust."

The Bible does not promise material wealth just for Christians. The riches mentioned in the Bible pertain to matters spiritual and eternal rather than temporal. In the Bible God does, however, promise to provide for basic needs.

AnswerWhat we have in life, is nothing in comparison in what we will gain in heaven! You can be assured, that if you are saved, paradise awaits you! You will be in the presence of God Himself! If that alone is not a joyful thought, then I do not know what is. Closing statement

everything above is not because how could you believe in one god but not the other 1000 gods out there that just makes you as much as an atheist as anyone else meaning that the is no such thing in any type of god so just try to work hard in life instead of spending you time reading Fairy Tales maybe then you'd have everything in life. (even tho its not physically possible.)
