James 5:2 Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten. 5:3 Your gold and your silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be for a testimony against you, and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up your treasure in the last days.

To think that a person entire wealth stands as a living witnesses against them instead of God's Holy Spirit witnessing to the truth of Christ life found in them - is shocking! What will sustain the next life, the life to come eternally, it is the very thing Adam and Eve lost, God's Holy Spirit. They exchanged the lie for the truth, and found death, they went back to the very ground they came from by God's Holy Spirit.

Here the rich stand being created as as son of God, by Holy Spirit formed for eternal life by the fruit of Holy Spirit, yet, they turn back to the fleshly mind set upon all things material that dies as Adam and Eve!

It much like draping gold and jewels upon a statue thinking it matters to the wooden statue, what good will it do for the statue that is dead? Nothing! The statue is dead, it does not bring the statue to life. Here is the reasoning of the rich that believe their god riches is going to take their dead body and bring life back into it. The deception of the fleshly mind is abundant in folly of evil lust for riches.

They have no god by material things yet they want to pretend and judge other as less by their riches. Seating themselves in the golden temple on earth so they can buy their way into heaven and be honored as well. But James pointedly says they are going to find nothing but fire by the truth of Christ Jesus spirit in dishonor not glory.
