1 Timothy 6:9-10;17-19

1. Guard your heart, Christian: the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil (9-10).
2. Those who are rich in this age must conduct themselves in light of eschatological realities (17-19).

To the rich Christians:

• Do not be arrogant
• Do not set your hope in riches but on God
• Do good
• Be rich in good works
• Be generous with your money and willing to share (committed generosity is the best Christian response to greed)

The result: the rich will lay a good foundation for the coming age.

The reason why the rich should do these things: to grasp true, eschatological eternal life
