How do we know that faith is more important than wealth?

In the parable of the rich fool, Jesus highlights that wealth, while seemingly beneficial, is ultimately of no eternal worth when one’s soul is at stake (Luke 12:20). The rich man’s folly lay in his failure to consider his accountability to God and the transient nature of worldly wealth. True value comes not from what one owns but from one’s faith in Christ, which provides the assurance of eternal life and spiritual sustenance. As believers, we are called to invest in heavenly treasures, which reflect our true identity and purpose in God’s kingdom.
