Rich in Good Works

Paul tells Timothy to charge the rich in this present age not to be haughty or to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides everything to enjoy. They are to do good, be rich in good works, and be generous and ready to share, storing up a good foundation for the future so that they may take hold of true life. Wealth can vanish overnight. God gives some believers wealth so they can bless the church and missions, and those who have Christ are rich in the age to come.
