Rich Toward God

Luke 12:21 - "“This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God."

Right before this verse Jesus tells the parable of the rich man who stored up riches for himself with the idea of sitting back and enjoying his riches, but that night God took his life. He never was able to enjoy his riches. Riches are fleeting.

We need to be rich toward God. How can one be rich toward God?
1) When he walks in righteousness.
2) When he gives his time in ministering to the body of Christ.
3) When he seeks to win the lost.
4) When he gives his tithes and offerings to the church.
5) When he gives his money and time to help those in need.
6) When you give God thanks and glory for who He is and all He has done.

Are you doing these things? If your doing all 6 of these things faithfully and as God would have you do them, you are very rich toward God. All 6 of these things are of eternal and everlasting value. All 6 of these things should come from a love of God and others. If you are faithful with 2 or 3 ask God to help you to be faithful in all of theses areas.
