What does the Bible say about being rich toward God?

Answered in 3 sources

Being rich toward God means valuing eternal treasures found in Christ rather than earthly possessions.

According to Scripture, particularly in Luke 12:21, those who lay up treasures for themselves rather than being rich toward God are missing the mark. True riches are found in being united with Christ and recognizing that earthly possessions are temporary and ultimately meaningless. As believers, we are called to treasure the relationship we have with Christ, which is the essence of being rich toward God. This rich relationship offers eternal security and hope, reminding us that our worth is not defined by earthly wealth but by our standing in Christ.
