The Command for the Rich


Listen Later

Luke 18:18-25 The rich young rule parable ended and the scripture go on to say that they that heard it said among themselves "who then can be saved?" In other words within all those people who heard him  I would assume some were rich. Again I want to stress the fact it is not a sin to be rich or wealthy; as long as you don't let it become your God whereas you hoard it, you love it and worship it to the point you are not willing to reach out to help your fellow man, not your fellow rich man; but your fellow man, help all human kind. That's part of the reason why God bless you with that wealth is to see if you will manage it wisely and help your fellow man. As with the Rich Young ruler God was visiting his heart to see if he was willing to allow God to pry those riches from his heart to serve God, followed by the outward expression of giving it to the needy and we know the story ended with the young ruler being very sorrowful. I'm sure he spent many years building this wealth but you see the Rich Command is you don't hoard this wealth but share it, because otherwise it can become your God. I think it's better said in (Luke 16:13) in the NIV: "No one can serve two masters either you will hate the one and love the other or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other, you cannot serve both God and money."
