What characteristics of a rich person make it harder to receive the Kingdom of God?

The rich man characteristics was that of keeping the law of moses but did not share his possessions to the poor rather this man was selfish. The rich man did not store up his treasure in heaven. When Jesus instructed him about the enterance into the kingdom of God, the rich man was not happy he became sad which means that he was not prepared to follow Jesus' instructions. Indeed, it is very difficult for the rich people to enter into the kingdom of God, however, Jesus loves all whether rich or poor, His intetion is that all should enter into the kingdom of God. Its seems that keeping and observing the law will not take us into the kingdom of God but rather share and store our treasures in heaven by assisting one another. Brothers and Sisters, let us seek first the kingdom of God and its righteouness, and the assurance of the kingdom of God will be given to us " Mathew 6 Vs 33"Amen!

What characteristics of a little child allow the child to better receive the Kingdom of God?

A little child is better to receive the kingdom of God because children listen when the father or mother rebuke them. They don't give up when they are chased or wiped by their parents but rather come back. The children are teachable at the same time they do not refuse but humbly receive the instructions of the father. The children have the peace of mind which brings about joy , much peace and rigteousness in the eyes of God. The chilren are included in the great coommision Jesus has given us " Mathew 28 Vs 19-20" therefore christians are not allowed to hinder the children to be blessed by Jesus.

What is in the heart of the tax collector (rejected by society) that the Pharasee (religious leader) seems to lack?

The tax - collector repented of his sins by asking God for mercies and that God should cleanse his heart. He did this by realising that whatever he was doing was a sin in the eyes of God. The Tax collector was very humble before God and he was justified by God because of his humility. but the Pharissee lacked wisdom, he was not humble before God. He counted himself worth than others. This man was unrighteous because he was despising other people. The Pharisee uplifted himself that he was the only one worth of praise , not only that but also did worthless tithing, fasting and giving to God . This man was not justified by God because he didnot offer his heart and didnot asked for the mercies of God upon his life but rather he was put down. Let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God in humility in order to be justified by God. Romans 12 Vs 1 Amen!!
