Listen to this blog.
Warn the rich people of this world not to be proud or to trust in wealth that is easily lost. Tell them to have faith in God, who is rich and blesses us with everything we need to enjoy life. Instruct them to do as many good deeds as they can and to help everyone. Remind the rich to be generous and share what they have.
This will lay a solid foundation for the future, so that they will know what true life is like.
1 Timothy 6:17-19
If you want to really be politically correct at this time in history, you will speak badly about rich people. It is quite popular and of course it is not hard to find a rich person who deserves all the criticism you can give him.
But the Bible does not say that being rich is a sin. It is harder for rich people to live their lives without trusting in their riches. And loving money is the root of all evil, but being rich is not evil.
Here is the reason, God Himself is rich! God is richer than anyone has ever or could ever be. So you can be rich beyond anyone's imagination and still be like God! If you want to know how to be a godly rich man, just look at how God handles His wealth. God blesses us from His riches with everything we need to enjoy life!
You can live a godly life if you are poor, but you can also live a godly life as a rich man. The instructions for the godly rich are very clear. Do as many good deeds as you can and help everyone. Also be generous and share what you have!
Instead of pursuing money, go after God. There are godly men who have little money, but all godly men are rich!
