Life on earth is comprised of human beings, needs, wants/desires, relationships, jobs/callings, accomplishments, and many more categories. It would be a challenge to try to list everything that is included in day to day human life because it can be very broad and very detailed. It would cover too much to be able to list, in reality.
One trait that is negative that is sometimes a part of human life is greed. Thankfully, it isn’t everywhere or in all people, but it is certainly there and it is definitely negative.
The Lord has been teaching humanity various lessons since the beginning of creation. Here are some samples from His Word.
But He said to them, “Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one is affluent does his life consist of his possessions.” (Lk 12:15 NASB) This is a warning against greed and an inordinate affection for possessions.
Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. (Col 3:5 NKJV) Covetousness (another word for greed) is named among a list of sins in the Bible.
Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Heb 13:5 NKJV) This passage in the Bible instructs us to be free of greed, and to be content with what we have.
Rather, we are told to remember what is TRULY important: that Jesus has promised us that He will never leave us nor forsake us.
What a beautiful and meaningful promise from our Savior!
