Jesus preached that it was very unlikely for a rich man to get to heaven
Matthew 19:23 Jesus then said to his disciples, “I assure you: it will be very hard for rich people to enter the Kingdom of heaven. 24 I repeat: it is much harder for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle.”
But the Bible says Solomon the wise king was rich (Old Testament) ...
Abraham the father of the Hebrew nations was rich (Genesis 24:35-36) ...
Job, who was God’s favorite righteous man, was rich (Old Testament) ...
And also Joseph of Arimathea, the man who contributed his tomb to Jesus’ burial, was rich (Matthew 27:57).
Recap: So it ain't so hard for a rich man to get to heaven after all.
