Who is the Richest Man in the World? by Thomas Brooks, 1662

Please help us share God's truths and hope in Christ.

“Having nothing–and yet possessing all things.” 2 Corinthians 6:10 This is a riddle the world cannot understand.

A holy man cannot be a poor man. A holy man is always the richest man. The riches of a Christian have no bottom. All the saint’s bags are bottomless bags.

Experience tells us that unholy men’s bags, purses, coffers, and mints, may be drawn dry. But the treasury, the riches of a saint, can never be exhausted, for he possesses all things in Christ and with Christ! The Christian has the God of all. The Christian has Him who has all.

Though he has nothing in hand, yet he has all things in hope.

A holy man is the richest man in the world, for he has the great and glorious God engaged by many thousand promises to own him, to bless him, to stand by him, to give grace and glory to him, and to withhold nothing from him that may be good for him.

When wicked men brag of their great possessions and riches–a holy man may make his boast of God, and say, “God is mine! God is mine! He is my great all. He is my all in all. And therefore, I am richer and a greater possessor than any wicked man in the world. Yes, richer than all wicked men in the world put together!”

(Thomas Brooks, “The Crown and Glory of Christianity, or, HOLINESS, the Only Way to Happiness,” 1662)

Words of Wisdom from the Cloud of Witnesses: "Cloud of Witnesses" refers to those in Heaven who have run their races and are now with the Lord. Their words of wisdom are filled with faith, hope, love, and joy that warm our souls. Their words present the eternal truths of God that grow us and give us joy. And their words strengthen our souls, equip our minds, encourage our hearts, and empower us to stand firm in our faith and be motivated, ready, and willing to share the hope we have in Jesus.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith...(Hebrews 12:1-2)
