Christians are the richest men in the world!

From Thomas Brooks's Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices, p.73-74:

"Remedy (4). The fourth remedy against this device of Satan is, seriously to consider, That the wants of wicked men, under all their outward mercy and freedom from adversity, is far greater than all their outward enjoyments..."

Rich men have worldy riches, but this is not what they truly desire. Brooks tells us why:

"Yet all this is nothing to what they want. They want interest in God, Christ, the Spirit, the promises, the covenant of grace, and everlasting glory; they want acceptation and reconciliation with God; they want righteousness, justification, sanctification, adoption, and redemption; they want the pardon of sin, and power against sin, and freedom from the dominion of sin; they want that favour that is better than life, and that joy that is unspeakable and full of glory, and that peace that passes understanding, and that grace, the least spark of which is more worth than heaven and earth; they want a house that hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God; they want those riches that perish not, the glory that fades not, that kingdom that shakes not. Wicked men are the most needy men in the world..."

Brothers, we have these riches in Christ! Praise, God we are blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places... (Read Eph. 1:3-14)
