There are well off Christians and there are many less fortunate ones. Each may have equal faith but one will enjoy many earthly rewards, while the other endures hardships. Which one is the more fortunate? As hard as it may to believe, I feel the wealthy believer has a much tougher time when it comes to the rewards we will receive when judged from the great white throne.

​

GOD is constantly testing our faith and obedience and HE does so in many different ways. Some Christians are tested by way of strife and suffering. Loss of loved ones or getting fired and enduring financial hardship. In many countries Christians are made to suffer for their faith and be persecuted, even imprisoned. Their faith is tested through hardships. In times of trouble, the best person to seek comfort in is Jesus Christ. The more GOD tests us, the stronger our faith should become. GOD will always provide a way out and if we should pass these tests, then our reward will be to sit with Jesus on His throne.



I feel that for those that are made to suffer and are forced to live without means have it easier than those who GOD has testing through abundance. Jesus said that it is easier to fit a camel through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. When we have little or nothing, we have nowhere else to turn to other than Christ. When we have much, it is so easy to forget who we should serve. The rich have too many earthly distractions and have the means to stray from GOD's path too easily. 



We must never forget that we are expected to use our GOD given talents, abilities and resources to do GOD's work while on earth. No deed is too small or too large. Our works will be judged and rewarded accordingly. It may seem that GOD grants an unfair amount to some but I feel that these seemingly fortunate people are facing a much more difficult test than we less fortunate do. They may seem to be receiving GOD's grace and rewards right now but they are also being tested and remember, there is no reward on earth that can come remotely close to glorious gifts we will receive  if we pass judgement.
