The Only Wealth That Matters // James 1:9-11
In this study, we are reminded that earthly riches and status are fleeting, while our eternal inheritance in Christ is imperishable. As believers, we should find our joy and hope in Him, regardless of our socioeconomic circumstances. The Bible calls both the poor and the rich to focus on the reality of eternity, rather than temporary earthly conditions. This wisdom helps us maintain a proper perspective, especially in the face of trials and an uncertain future.
DISCUSSION / REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
How can we, as believers, guard our hearts against envy (for the poor) and pride (for the rich)?
Are there any financial benchmarks or material status symbols that you struggle with coveting?
What does it mean that our works will be 'tested by fire' when we stand before God one day, and how should that impact the way we live now?
Do you believe that things are going to get worse or better in the days and years ahead on earth? Why?
What would it look like for us to find true joy, peace and contentment in Christ even in the face of poverty and a crumbling world?
Why is it so vital that we understand what the Bible teaches about the end times, and how can that knowledge give us hope and peace?
