George Fox emphasizes the importance of not placing trust in uncertain riches and worldly possessions, which are temporary and deceptive. He encourages believers to view themselves as pilgrims and strangers in this world, focusing instead on the eternal and durable riches found in a relationship with God. Fox highlights that true wealth comes from knowing the Creator and experiencing the everlasting grace and life He offers. He warns that reliance on material wealth can lead to deception and failure, urging a shift towards spiritual riches that endure forever.

Thomas Brooks emphasizes the inexhaustible riches of Christ, contrasting them with the fleeting nature of earthly wealth. He illustrates that while worldly riches can be quickly depleted and leave us unsatisfied, Christ's treasures are bottomless and always available. Brooks uses the example of a Spanish ambassador to highlight that unlike earthly treasures, which can run dry, Christ's resources are limitless and can sustain millions without diminishing. The sermon encourages believers to rely on Christ's abundant provision rather than the temporary satisfaction of material wealth.
