This document discusses God testing believers with money and wealth. It says God will test progressively, from basic tests to more mature tests, to see if people love and trust money or God. It discusses tithing, giving to God first and from the first fruits, and how obeying God's commands on money brings blessings. It contrasts serving God versus money and says Jesus passed the ultimate test by dying for believers while they were still sinners. The overall message is that God tests believers with wealth to see if they love and trust Him above money.

14. 4 Then I saw thrones, and seated on them
were those to whom the authority to
judge was committed. Also I saw the
souls of those who had been beheaded
for the testimony of Jesus and for the
word of God, and those who had not
worshiped the beast or its image and had
not received its mark on their foreheads
or their hands. They came to life and
reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
Revelation 20:4-6

15. 5 The rest of the dead did not come to life
until the thousand years were ended. This
is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is the one who shares
in the first resurrection! Over such the
second death has no power, but they will
be priest of God and of Christ, and they
will reign with Him for a thousand years.
Revelation 20:4-6
