The Poor Become Happy in the Afterlife

To save the world means to save the poor, since the rich do not want the world to be saved.  Therefore, Christ Jesus tried to save the poor in order to save the world.

In this sense, only the poor can understand what Christ Jesus was and what He was doing.  Indeed, Christianity is the religion for the poor.

The God also means perfect goodness.  But, every kind of evil in this world comes from human desires for wealth, happiness, social status, etc.  And for men to satisfy their desire, they have to earn money that is a tool of Satan trying to corrupt every man.  As a result, the rich, the elite, successful men and happy men in this world try to keep their wealth, social status, and other advantageous conditions, preventing the poor from getting any money.  From this circumstance, every kind of evil in this world emerges, and the poor are made to suffer.

Satan has brainwashed the rich, the elite, the upper-class people, the strong, the competent, etc. so that they neglect the poor and they follow and revere it as a god.  Truly those rich men, etc. brainwashed by Satan with money respect Satan as a god.  This is the true status of the world.      

In this context, for Christ Jesus to save the poor means to fight Satan.  The Gospels show this fight of Christ Jesus against Satan.  Followers of Christ Jesus have to fight Satan like Christ Jesus.  Without fighting Satan, you cannot be a Christian essentially.

Satan has brainwashed the rich, etc. with the idea that there is no afterlife and the life is only once, so that they have to become and stay rich and enjoy rich life in this world as much as possible, even neglecting the poor.

But Christ Jesus taught the poor that (1) there is the afterlife, (2) rich men cannot enter into Heaven, (3) the poor, the faithful, and people with love to truth and justice are accepted in Heaven so as to live happy forever there.

To accept and understand the teaching of Christ Jesus, we have to use our spiritual power to see that there are souls in human beings, the spirit world exists, and this material world was made from the spirit world by the God.  We have to realize that when a man dies, his soul leaves the body and enters into the spirit world as a spirit.  Our minds continue to live with our souls and spirits.

Although even Christ Jesus did not teach the details of the spirit world, we have to understand that this world is under the spirit world.  Therefore, we should be prepared for new lives in the spirit world after death in this world.  Poverty in this world is the main part of qualification requirements for happiness in the spirit world or Heaven.

John 4, King James Version

3 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
4 And he must needs go through Samaria.
5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
