Wealth

Wealth means money, possessions and other valuable resources. It can provide security for a family, support a religious community or relieve someone else’s poverty. The religious question is therefore not simply whether someone is rich, but how they obtain their wealth, what they do with it and whether money becomes their highest priority.

Wealth means money and valuable possessions. It can provide security, support a family and make it possible to help others. Christian ethical questions therefore concern both its acquisition—how it is obtained—and its use—what someone does with it.
