Rich
In Good Works
Of course, there is great gain in
godliness combined with contentment; for we brought nothing into the world, so
that we can take nothing out of it; but if we have food and clothing, we will
be content with these. But those who want to be rich fall into temptation and
are trapped by many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin
and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and in
their eagerness to be rich some have wandered away from the faith and pierced
themselves with many pains.
1 Timothy 6:6-10
They are to do good, to be rich in good
works, generous, and ready to share, thus storing up for themselves the
treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the
life that really is life.
1 Timothy 6:18
Believers everywhere are supposed to
help, whether it is natural disaster assistance, local help to a family in
need, or to our own spiritual brothers and sisters. Believers can't keep their
faith a secret, nor can they keep their actions a secret. Believers should
follow the plan of God for the Christian life. There are needs all around you
that you can have a vital part in meeting.
If you really
care, you will want to share.
