—James 5:1-5
by: Katie Brown.
This passage paints a descriptive picture of decay and destruction. God will not forget the cruelty of the rich who take advantage of others. Some people with great wealth and many possessions may think they can take comfort in their success, but we know as Christians that our reward is not on earth. James warned the rich that all of their money and clothes would rot away in the end. Every person (with every size of bank account) will face the Lord for judgement on the last day. God hears the cries of the oppressed and will bring about justice for the poor.
