The Purpose of Wealth

Why does God bless us--except so that we may also be a blessing to others? We are given so much to enjoy, but not only to enjoy--also to pass along to others.

We have been given such an abundance--financial, educational, and ultimately spiritual. And so we must ask ourselves what our God is calling us to do with all of this, all that He has entrusted to us for a time. What a command and a privilege: to be able to give ourselves to help others with what we have received!
 
(See also K.P. Yohannan, "Revolution in World Missions," 83-84 for some challenging words on this.)

Genesis 12:-13; Matthew 5:13-16; Matthew 6:19-24; Romans 12:3-8; Ephesians 1:1-14; 4:1-16
