How do we know that being rich toward God is important?

Answered in 1 source

Being rich toward God is vital as it reflects true wisdom and investment in eternal treasures rather than temporary wealth (Luke 12:21).

Jesus highlights in Luke 12:21 that, 'So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.' This indicates that accumulating earthly wealth without regard for spiritual richness is folly. True wisdom is characterized by a focus on eternal matters—being rich in grace, faith, and good works. God esteems those who prioritize their relationship with Him over material gains, emphasizing that eternal treasures are where lasting joy and security are found.
