1 Timothy 6:7

For we have brought nothing into this world, so (it is clear that) we cannot take anything out of it, either.  

We live in houses and work jobs, but our lives mean more than what we gain financially.  We are here because God wanted a family made in his image.  We will take out of this world how we fellowshipped, prayed, gave, honored, and obeyed God in our time on earth.  Our goal on this earth is eternal life.
