Why Don't You Try to be Poor?
If you know that your soul with your mind continues to live after physical death in this human world, you are not necessarily promised eternal life. You have to enter Heaven and be accepted there so as to be given eternal life. Otherwise, you will fall into the hells to be ultimately destroyed and deleted with Satan, which is the true and second death. This is what Christ Jesus told 2,000 years ago.
And, for you enter to Heaven and be accepted there, you have to be poor to the eye of the God and poorer than your neighbors, which was emphasized by Christ Jesus 2,000 years ago. But, almost nobody tries to be poor as much as possible to be admitted into Heaven, which means that almost everybody is living in a manner against the teaching of the God and Christ Jesus. Therefore, it is very difficult for men to be saved even in this human world, since they live against the teaching of the God and Christ Jesus.
The reason why you have to be poor is that being poor means not being evil. For a man to get rich, continue to be rich, and become richer, he will surely accept any little evil, justifying evil as necessity so as to be rich. And, if you accept one evil matter, you will surely accept two evil matters and you will finally accept any evil so as to be rich, continue to be rich, and become richer.
Therefore, rich men usually do not think of the God but money. Rich men usually neglect the teaching of the God and Christ Jesus and poor neighbors, so that they hate light and love of the God in Heaven, falling down to the hells to be finally completely destroyed there by the God.
Put simply, men usually choose being rich in this human world over being accepted in Heaven. That is why this human world is full of evil.
But, fist of all you have to believe in existence of Heaven and the hells. Next, you have to know that happiness in Heaven is far better than material happiness in this world. Then, you will not pursue material happiness in this world and try to be poor as much as possible while living in this human world.
Yet, Satan want as many men as possible to fall into the hells. It brainwashes men so that they believe that there is no afterworld or that they can be happy in the afterlife even if they are materially rich while living in the human world. As a result, people come to think that there is no relationship of entering Heaven/falling into the hells in the afterlife and being rich/poor in this human world. Therefore, people would come to purse wealth in this world without minding Heaven/the hells in the afterlife. And to earn money and accumulate wealth, people would do any evil. That is why this world is full of evil.
Men have to understand that rich men are doing various evil to be rich so that they cannot enter Heaven but fall into the hells. This simple truth must be the basic principle of common sense. To get eternal happiness in Heaven after death in this human world, you have to be poor while living in this human world.
Being poor in this world means being promised to be given happiness in Heaven. On the other hand, being rich, successful, and happy in this world means being destined to go to the hells to suffer under the rule of Satan. So, why don't you try to be poor?

Luke 10, King James Version
9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
13 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
15 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.
