Growth: Choosing Eternal Treasure Over Greed

📖 Introduction

Welcome to your 21-day journey on Growth: Choosing Eternal Treasure Over Greed. In a world that often highlights material success and accumulation, the tension between greed and godliness impacts our spiritual growth deeply. This study explores how greed can subtly and powerfully corrupt our hearts, steering us away from the abundant life God desires for us. Conversely, it reveals how godliness, paired with contentment, leads to peace and lasting treasure beyond this life.

Greed is more than just wanting more; it is an idol that can consume our thoughts, choices, and relationships. The Bible warns us repeatedly about the dangers of greed, portraying it as a root of many forms of evil. On the other hand, godliness with contentment is portrayed as a virtue that brings spiritual growth, joy, and fulfillment. Paul’s words in 1 Timothy 6:6 emphasize that "godliness with contentment is great gain," underscoring the eternal value over fleeting wealth.

Throughout these 21 days, you will dive into Scripture passages that expose the heart’s longing for more and contrast that with the peace found in trusting God’s provision. Each day includes a primary Scripture to meditate on, supporting verses to deepen understanding, and a devotional to encourage transformation. Reflection questions and journaling prompts will help you internalize God’s Word and apply it personally.

Prepare your heart to confront subtle idols, embrace contentment, and grow in godliness. Let this journey transform your view of wealth, possessions, and what really matters, so you can prioritize eternal treasures. Together, we will choose growth in Christ above all else. Let’s begin this important pursuit today.
