Can a man be rich and righteous? - Admonition 124
Adam Cozort: And now admonition
brought to you by the
Collierville Church of Christ.
Aaron Cozort: Can a man be rich
and righteous?
The answer to that is in
Scripture.
Some might quote Jesus as saying
that it's harder for a rich man
to enter the Kingdom of God then
for a camel to go through the
eye of a needle, but there's
another passage to consider as
well.
Job Chapter one verse three
concerning Job, we read, his
possessions were 7,000 sheep,
3000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen,
500 female donkeys, and a very
large household so that this man
was the greatest of all the
people of the east.
Sounds like a rich man...
but what was his character like?
Verse One says he was blameless
and upright, one who feared God
and shunned evil.
This man was righteous because
his faith in God and his
obedience to God came before his
riches and was there long after
his riches were gone.
