NET ZERO A Study of James 5:1–6.

The Judgment of God is certain to come upon those who pursue dishonest gain. SPIRITUAL LIFE PRINCIPLE:

The Desperate Anguish of the Wicked Rich. What they are called to do: Weep & Howl: Howl, to cry aloud in anguish. “To express the shrieking or howling of grief to the gods.” Greatest Tragedy, “The sinner’s incessant cries for mercy, and the deafness of God.”

The Dreadful Judgment of the Wicked Rich Riches: Rotted Garments: Moth Eaten Silver & Gold: Corroded The Corrosion will consume their flesh.

The Devastating Future of the Wicked Rich. Eccl. 5:13, “…Riches kept for their owner to his hurt.” 1 Tim. 6:9, “They that will be rich will fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish & hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction.”

The Deceitful Practices of he Wicked Rich. Withholding rightful payment. Leviticus 9:13 Deut. 24:14—15. Jeremiah 22:13.

The Deluxe Lifestyle of the Wicked Rich. Parallel of Luke 16, the “rich man & Lazarus.” Day of Slaughter = God’s Wrath, Isa. 34:5—8; Jer. 46:10, Jer. 50:25—27. They have fattened their hearts with good while others starve from want.

The Deadly Crimes of the Wicked Rich. Depriving the poor of their basic provisions. Defrauding Christians to take their wealth. Pr. 13:11, “Wealth gained by fraud, dwindles.”

SLP Application: Do I use our finances to God’s glory? Am I hoarding or helping with my riches? What is my attitude toward money? What is my attitude toward the poor?
