2And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

Myth: God Wants You To Be Rich?

The Bible does not say this or imply it.
Jesus said to his disciples in Mathew 19: 24. "Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
Would God want to make it hard for you to enter the kingdom of God?
Besides God is not Santa Clause where we send our wish list.
This is a Myth. The answer is "False"

Myth: God helps those who help themselves?

The answer: Unknown - A close freind said. “God helps those that can’t help themselves and are committed to being obedient to his leading.” I can buy that.
