The speaker unpacks Proverbs 13:22 on wealth for the righteous, arguing that true riches aren't money but Christ Himself. Real righteousness comes through Jesus, not human effort. Knowing Him and the salvation He offers is the wealth that frees us from sin.
What's up, fam? I have a word for you today, and that word today is coming from Proverbs 13:22. For the wealth of the world is laid up for the righteous. Now, I like to flip things, so when it comes to righteousness, it is not our righteousness. We have to seek righteousness, and that's Jesus. So the more and more we learn about Jesus, like literally learn about Jesus and think on the sufferings that he did for us, That's, you know, the death and resurrection is not necessarily just thinking about death and resurrection, but actually thinking about how it saves us from ourselves. So what is laid up is Christ, and the— in the world we can learn about Christ, and that is the wealth. So the more and more we learn about how we are saved from our sins and things that can save us and what Jesus, who can save us. That's true wealth. Get rich.
