1 Timothy 6:18
1 Timothy 6:18
That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
Wealth is often associated with material possessions, but here we are reminded to be "rich in good works." True richness is found in a life of service, generosity, and humility. This verse challenges us to hold loosely to earthly riches and to prioritize what truly matters—compassion and community. By distributing our resources generously, we align our values with God’s kingdom, reflecting His heart of kindness and humility. Being “willing to communicate” implies openness and a readiness to engage with those in need. Such a lifestyle exemplifies a Christ-like spirit, where our generosity becomes a testimony to God’s love. This call to be rich in good works invites us to invest in eternal treasures, bringing hope and healing to those around us. Let us embrace a life marked by selflessness, where our wealth is measured not by accumulation but by the positive impact we have on others. In doing so, we reflect God’s generosity and draw others toward His grace.
Titus 2:14
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Titus 3:14
And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
Proverbs 31:20
She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
Ephesians 2:10
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
