A person with money today is in such a wonderful position to help others. I believe the sin comes in when people with money watch people in need suffer, and do nothing at all to help, while they themselves have plenty and more besides.
Money can buy a lot of things, but it cannot buy salvation and peace of mind. These are free. If they cost money, a lot of us would not be saved today. Verse 19 says that if you are rich you must lay a good foundation, so that you may take hold of eternal life, which after all is the greatest treasure.
Maybe you have been blessed with money. If you have, don’t keep it all to yourself. Be willing to help someone who needs a helping hand. If you give, it will be given back to you. Plus, God will reward you in other ways as well. Maybe you are someone that is thinking, “I don’t have money, what can I do?” Well, do all you can to help anyone who needs you. After all, God only expects us to do our best and He knows just what that is.
