Luke 12:15 warns us that a man’s life does not consists in the abundance of his possessions.
Luke 12:15-23
[15]And he went on to say to them all, “Watch out and guard yourselves from every kind of greed; because a person’s true life is not made up of the things he owns, no matter how rich he may be.”
[16]Then Jesus told them this parable: “There was once a rich man who had land which bore good crops.
[17]He began to think to himself, ‘I haven’t anywhere to keep all my crops. What can I do?
[18]This is what I will do,’ he told himself; ‘I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, where I will store my corn and all my other goods.
[19]Then I will say to myself, Lucky man! You have all the good things you need for many years. Take life easy, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself!’
[20]But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night you will have to give up your life; then who will get all these things you have kept for yourself?’ ”
[21]And Jesus concluded, “This is how it is with those who pile up riches for themselves but are not rich in God’s sight.”
[22]Then Jesus said to the disciples, “And so I tell you not to worry about the food you need to stay alive or about the clothes you need for your body.
[23]Life is much more important than food, and the body much more important than clothes.
