What Does God Think of Rich People?
Introduction
This article addresses a sensitive topic: What does God think of wealthy individuals? Is it wrong to be rich? Are the affluent unfairly judged? Can prosperity truly be achieved by everyone?
Understanding Wealth and Perception
People often have preconceived notions about wealth, associating it with phrases like "filthy rich" or "stinking rich." Many believe being rich is wrong, yet secretly wish for more money themselves. Some assume the wealthy obtained their riches dishonestly or didn't work for it, while others see them as elitists. Rarely do we find joy in someone else's success.
Biblical Perspective on Wealth
Contrary to popular belief, the Bible doesn't say money itself is evil. It warns that the love of money is the root of all evil. You can cling to just one dollar or remain unattached to a million.
Several biblical figures were wealthy. Job, once stripped of everything, was blessed twice over by God. Abraham, known as God's friend, was rich in cattle, silver, and gold. Then there's David and Solomon. Another rich man, Joseph of Arimathea, took care of Jesus' burial, showcasing the means and willingness to give.
Prosperity Promises in the Bible
Some argue that these figures were unique and exceptions to divine wealth. But if that were true, why are there so many biblical promises of prosperity? The Bible doesn’t suggest that some are meant to be rich while others poor.
Consider the popularity of "The Prayer of Jabez" from I Chronicles 4:10. Jabez asked God to bless him, and God granted his request. He was not chastised for asking for more; instead, he received it.
Balancing Scriptures
While some scriptures might seem against prosperity, they shouldn’t overshadow the numerous verses highlighting God’s desire for success and health for His followers. God wishes above all for His children to prosper.
Honest Prosperity
Wealth can be achieved honestly or unethically. Unfortunately, many are quick to judge the wealthy, including successful Christians who are unfairly criticized for their blessings. These individuals work hard, apply principles, have faith in God’s blessings, and receive abundantly.
Conclusion
So, how does God view rich people? Is He displeased with wealth? Does He wish for everyone to live in poverty? Absolutely not. God desires prosperity and health for all His children.
