From Ape Man to Christian Man

In “Covenant Wealth,” Rushdoony reframes wealth not as income level or social class, but as covenantal faithfulness measured by service to God’s Kingdom rather than material display. From a biblical perspective, rich, middle-class, and poor alike can be righteous or corrupt depending on their obedience to God’s law and purpose, because true wealth begins with man’s original calling to exercise dominion under God. Covenant wealth is therefore Kingdom gain building institutions, knowledge, culture, arts, and faithful labor that advance God’s reign in history whether or not it results in visible affluence. Such wealth may prosper the believer, but its primary purpose is always to prosper God’s Kingdom, redirecting resources away from vanity, status, and monuments to man, and toward lasting fruit under Christ’s lordship. The pressing question is not how much we possess, but what kingdom our labor, resources, and lives are building. #CovenantWealth #KingdomEconomics #BiblicalStewardship #ChristianDominion #FaithAndWork #GodsKingdom #BiblicalWorldview #Rushdoony
