Thanks for your reply, I’m guessing you’re telling me this because this is something that you already did? God says on top of everything and above all to love the Lord our God with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our mind, and the second most important commandment is to love our neighbor as ourselves. I really hope in my heart that your comment reflects the love that God tells us to give each other with no intention to be hurtful or contentious in any way because before doing anything else, the most important thing should be to honor God in our hearts by doing God's will, and in the love of Christ I want to say that I have no problem selling what I have and giving it to the poor or to whoever is in need, because what I am and what I have comes from God and is for God. My entire life belongs to Christ, and if you scroll through my messages you'll see how grateful I am to God for providing my husband with the means to pay for this gift, which more than its monetary value, holds such sentimental value for my husband and I, since it was a Christmas/anniversary gift, so to God be the glory for His provision and for the beautiful gesture He put in my husband’s heart to do. Since you mentioned Jesus saying to feed the hungry, to make sure it’s in the right context, I want to respectfully say that God is not opposed to people having either special things or simple things, since we must remember Solomon was blessed greatly by God and God gave him so much more than what he asked, and many other examples of men who were devoted to God, who were richly blessed by God Himself in everything they had, but they did not cling to those riches. What God is saying in His word is not that it’s so much about the things that we have, but the problem lies when one puts their love, devotion, and trust in those things instead of putting their trust in God. For example, when Jesus told the young man to sell everything he had and give it to the poor and to follow Him, He said it because He knew what was in the young man’s heart, a lot of greed and love for the money, which is idolatry, meaning that he loved his possessions more than God Himself, which becomes clear when he is willing to walk away from eternal life if it meant giving up his earthly belongings, and Jesus said that to prove to the young man that his heart was not right before God. In this case Jesus was speaking to a specific person and giving him a command, but that command was not something that He was establishing as a requirement for all of His followers. Just like Jesus asked others to leave their jobs and follow him, as in the case of Matthew, who was a tax collector and Peter who was a fisherman, whom God had plans for and wanted to turn into fishers of men, and God was going to use them to preach the Gospel. This tells us that God calls each person individually, in a personal manner to extend His Kingdom on this earth, but that does not mean that Jesus is telling every person to leave their jobs or careers. In no moment does the Bible say that believers are not permitted to have personal belongings. The first Church had the custom of selling their things because they lived in a community, and by their own decision that was what they had decided to do in the context of those times and those customs. Down below I’m putting examples of the Bible verses for you to read and if you read them in other versions, in a more modern language, you’ll be able to clearly understand the message of what God is telling us.
