Sure if Rich Christians are not greedy , covetous, and have a charitable loving heart ,and seeking the Lord for His lead in the Spirit for Jesus plan ...See this was the concern of Lord Jesus and faith is a must and any pride of money can overshadow faith in Jesus and Jesus charity He want to give to His Children .... See can the rich man take charity ?

Wealth in and of itself is not a bad thing. It is how that wealth is obtained that is so often the sin. Of the wealthy people I have known personally the vast majority harmed others to gain that wealth. They took advantage of the less fortunate and compromise their morals to keep that wealth. Most do make attempts to help others but always seem to seek recognition for it so the motives are questionable at best.

I don't see anything bad about it either. Some of our wealthiest people have done great things to help their fellow man. Money can alleviate, and often cure, many of life's ills.

The point is, if we remain in faith we receive the promise.
