Rich Men will be Destroyed in the Hell together with Satan
Christians are those who believe in the Bible and the Gospels, so that they believe in the afterlife, Heaven, and the hell in addition to the God, the holy spirit, and Christ Jesus as well as existence of their spirits.
Therefore, they should not be afraid of their death in this world, since they believe that their sprits will live in the spirit world, the afterlife, or Heaven. However, there is something more important than the afterlife, or the fact or belief that men's spirits will live in the afterlife after physical death in this world. That is why problems in this world cannot be solved or men have to suffer various problems in this world.
It also tells that the notion that a man's spirit will continue to live in the spirit world even after his body's death in this world does not improve the human world or save souls of men. So, if Christ Jesus had declared only this truth, poor people of 2,000 years ago should not have been impressed so much.
The point at issue is that poor men can be accepted in Heaven but rich men cannot. Hearing this teaching from a man called Jesus who had shown His authority given by the God in addition to seeing miracles that showed His authority over this world, poor people rejoiced and came to believe in Him. Indeed, Christ Jesus came to this world to save the poor, the unhappy, and the inflicted but not to judge evil and rich men.
However, Christ Jesus meant that rich and evil men would be destroyed by the God in the hell together with Satan. This is one of the most important part in the teachings of Christ Jesus.

Acts 8, King James Version
20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
25 And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
