In the Old Testament, God’s people were often promised earthly, physical blessings if they obeyed him. The blessings of land and prosperity were often anticipations of a greater, heavenly reward. In the New Testament, on the other hand, God’s people are not promised wealth or comfort, at least not in the present age. In Mark 10:17–31, Jesus warns us of the danger of treasuring money and making an idol out of it. Our money and our resources should be used for the purpose of his kingdom. David Platt urges Christians in wealthier contexts to take heed of Jesus’ words and to trust in God’s generous provision.
We hope you'll join us for Secret Church 25 on April 11. For six hours, we’ll dig deep into the book of Matthew and pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters. If you register by April 2 and live in the US, UK, or Canada, we’ll make sure your printed guided scripture journal gets to you in time for the event. Sign up today at radical.net/sc25
