7.God’s commandment
Very person wants to be well. And by doing so well usually we also understand a lot to have for ourselves, that is to own and enjoy. After the Lord Jesus showed His divine glory on top, disciples they wanted to stay here: “Teacher, we are well here, let’s build three stalls.”
From Peter’s statement, in which he also specified for whom to build stands, we know that not thinking about himself and his two companions John and James, lie on Christ, Moses and Elijah. He completely forgot about himself, so great was his bliss; he had no material stand at all. Abraham was given the promises of the Lord God who He knew. They concerned the material heritage of the earth and earthly offspring. Our homeland but Christians are in heaven, we also believe in the invisible thing that they are prepared for our eternal happiness and therefore we do not ourselves on material matters.

Saint Augustine taught us:regarding the good you possess when the necessity and need in ours are fulfilled life, the rest belongs to the poor. Finally, according to people seeking happiness in material things, one can to guess the question of their doubts: “Can I buy happiness?”psychologists answer that in some way, by spending money on others. A series of studies have found that there is a link between personal happiness and donating money; these studies have been published in Science magazine of 2008. “Independently of making money, it turned out that those who keep Everything for themselves are more unfortunate than those who part of their money or time or In this way, even material sessions point to the spiritual regularities. In fact, spiritual is also manifested through material, soul through body, love through gift.
