You cannot buy your way into heaven.
You know this, but rich people think a little differently. Back in 2006 Warren Buffett announced that he was giving his fortune to charity. At the time Buffett was worth $44 billion just in stocks. He said he was giving away $37 billion. Most of it went to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. By anyone’s thinking … that’s a lot of money.
When he presented his gift to the Gateses, he made the remark, “There is more than one way to get to heaven, but this is a great way.”
It is certainly a generous gift, but not a sufficient to get to heaven. $37 billion is not enough. Only the blood of Jesus can get you in.
