"I am a very wealthy man," replied the Christian. "List your possessions, please," the assessor instructed. The Christian said:
"First, I have everlasting life, John 3:16
Second, I have a mansion in heaven, John 14:2
Third, I have peace that passes all understanding, Philippians 4:7

Ninth, I have songs in the night, Psalms 42:8
Tenth, I have a crown of life, James 1:12"
