Even if you lived to a good ripe old age, this message rings completely true. No one has ever, can ever, or will ever, prove this one truth statement false, and that is that, somehow you will be able to take anything with you when you die. Ha, listen, you do not even get to take your body with you, how is it that we could, in any way, take what we have purchased, been gifted, or stollen with us when we need our bodies to carry that stuff? All of it stays behind. 

1 Tim 6:7 - 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

Let’s D-Com for a minute:

Temporary – 

lasting, existing, serving, or effective for a time only; not permanent:

a temporary need;

a temporary job.

Synonyms: passing, impermanent

Interesting that it mentions time given we will leave everything we collect in time to time. All of our anything that was given, used, birthed, gifted, labored for, will stay in the time dimension. Which by the way, when we leave time we pass from its limits to eternity whereby the limits of time no longer have an effect on us. Ah, but think upon this for a minute. What you did spiritually speaking, while living on this spinning rock, by way of listening to God, obeying God, getting to know Him in all processes, will matter in eternity though it was done in time.

2 Tim 2:20-21 - 20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. 21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.
