Selected Sub-Tab

1 Timothy 6:17-19

"Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age."

Even those with resources are warned not to trust in the uncertainty of wealth. Hope belongs in God, who provides for enjoyment and for generosity. True security is built by using money for good deeds and sharing, thereby investing in eternal foundations rather than temporary riches.
