Is it sinful to be rich? Are Christians expected to live monastic lives and denounce the wealthy? Alistair Begg explains that there is no sin in wealth that is honestly gained and wisely managed. Yet although wealth ultimately comes from God, the rich still face peculiar dangers—and shoulder significant responsibilities as well.
17As for the rich in athis present age, charge them bnot to be haughty, nor cto set their hopes on dthe uncertainty of riches, but on God, ewho richly provides us with everything to enjoy. 18They are to do good, fto be rich in good works, to be generous and gready to share, 19thus hstoring up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may itake hold of jthat which is truly life.
