True Security

 (ID: 2646)

Money is a day-to-day consideration for most of us, and it’s easy to assume a worldly perspective focused on amassing wealth and possessions. The theme that riches are uncertain, however, spans the Bible. Expounding on Paul’s statement that “godliness with contentment is great gain,” Alistair Begg offers practical insight on managing our attitudes toward money. Just as God’s Word warns about wealth’s dangers and duties, it also commands us to invest our hope in God, who alone is certain and secure.


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.
