(In the Old Testament, and even in the New Testament, the Jewish people always believed that if a person obeyed God, he would have God’s blessings. So if a person was very rich, people thought the person must be pleasing God for God to bless him so much.
Now, Jesus is saying that it is hard for a rich person to get into heaven. The reason is—-now with Jesus dying on the cross—
Salvation is by faith in Jesus—not by the good works and the things a person does.
Also, a rich person has everything they need and want. It is hard for them to humble themselves and say they are a sinner and need Jesus to forgive them and save them.
Giving up their riches and giving most of it to the poor is also hard to do.
God still blesses those who obey him and trust in Him. But our salvation is not based on what we do to earn it, it is given to us as a gift, just because we believe in Jesus and ask for forgiveness.)
