The Key is God
One of the important teaching of Jesus Christ is that human beings must first think about God and then think about their living.
It means that as long as men are following the teaching of God, God will help them survive and live well. However, if you cannot think that God has actual power to save poor believers and He would really exercise His power for them, you cannot follow the teaching of Jesus Christ.
In this world, wealth and worldly power have decisive influences on people. To be happy, one must have money. To be safe, one must be protected by social or political power. This is commonsense. But, Jesus Christ teaches that it is God that saves people who are not happy and safe. Jesus Christ teaches it is not money and worldly power that saves people who are not happy and safe.
In other words, Satan teaches that only money and worldly power can make human beings happy, so Satan tells human beings to be as cool or cruel as possible to others in order to be happy. But Jesus Christ teaches that human beings must first follow the teachings of God and then God will take care of them.
One of the keys to handling this issue is what God is for human beings. From the beginning, can human beings believe in existence of God? The teaching of Christ Jesus is based on the condition that people can admit existence of God as super existence with unlimited power. And, He teaches people who admit existence of God that God must be first respected and then He would take care of people.
Today, most of people think they can be happy if they have money. Some of them might think that God is existent, but they also think that God does not give them money and make them happy. Others even deny existence of God, and they naturally think that God does not give them money and make them happy.
However, even the most advanced science cannot deny existence of God who created this material universe. The most advanced science even suggest other material universes outside our material universe. So, we cannot deny existence of the spiritual universe outside our material universe. And God can exist materially and spiritually.
If human beings belong to the universe God created, it is logically correct that they first follow the teachings of God before trying to be happy based on money.
Every problem in this world is related to human desire to be happy. But, if everyone first follows the teaching of God as he or she is supposed to do, there will be no problems and tragedies in the world.
The theme for human beings is God and how correctly they can understand God.
