Faith, Riches, and Responsibility

Jesus said " to whom much has been given, much will be required."

I used to think He was talking in terms of material goods. Now I think it had more to do with faith.

Those rich in material goods are likely poorer in faith than those who voluntarily give up a large portion of their material goods as they try to serve God, or than those who choose a vocation focused more on serving God than on making money. Those richer in faith likely have a better grasp of what God expects of them, and know that working hard for and holding onto material goods is not what God wants. "No man can serve two masters".

To one who has been given great faith, great sacrifice is more likely to be required.
