What does it mean to be rich toward God?

Answered in 1 source

Being rich toward God means prioritizing spiritual investments over material ones and focusing on eternal significance (Luke 12:21).

In Luke 12:21, Jesus concludes the parable of the rich fool by stating, 'So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.' This means that true riches are not defined by material wealth but by our relationship with God and our contributions to His kingdom. Being rich toward God involves engaging in acts of service, generosity, and devotion that reflect our faith and commitment to His purposes. It signifies an understanding that our lives should prioritize eternal investments rather than fleeting earthly gains, aligning our priorities with the values of God's kingdom.
