again, my worldly friend, you're mixing up the physical and the spiritual realm, but your questions are good and relevant.
Being born again is a simple act of obedience to God's Word. It doesn't change you physically. It doesn't even change your circumstances. You can be born again and poor as poor can be, but you have inside of you a hope that can not disappoint! All the riches in the world cannot compare with the riches of the Kingdom of God. They are merely a physical representation of such. Poverty is a curse, but it is also a state of mind. You can have nothing and still be rich!
The world as we see it is a place of wonder and beauty, but at the same time it can be a perilous place of tremendous suffering. When we suffer, as born again believers, our suffering is not in vain. If you are without the Christ living inside you; if your spirit has not been set free, it only matters if you don't make it out from beneath the rubble of a collapsed building.
When you die, you go to an even worse place where there is no end to the suffering. Eternity for the human spirit is a reality, whether you believe in it or not!
The good news, as it is preached in every corner of the world to the rich and the poor alike is that 'you don't have to live like a refugee' to quote Tom Petty. God's insurance policy has no pre-existing condition clauses. It is His amazing Grace to save the lost sinner from eternity in hell through the simple acceptance of His Truth, which is His Son coming to earth to take away every curse from your back; poverty, sickness, emotional and physical pain of all kinds! There is no catch, no premium, no hidden costs to pay later on. It's FREE and available to ALL!
WOW!
