The Bible is clear that true blessing is found only in the presence of God and in his kingdom. Some of the Bible's clearest teaching about life in the kingdom of God is found in the Sermon on the Mount. It is there that we find the Beatitudes, a series of promises of blessing. In How Can I Be Blessed?, Dr. R. C. Sproul explores these sayings in order to clearly explain what they mean for Christians and to hold up the glorious promise of life in God's kingdom.

"You cannot serve God and money," he warned. How, then, should Christians view and use money? How should they view and participate in economic systems? In How Should I Think about Money?, Dr. R.C. Sproul offers much-needed biblical answers to these questions, and in so doing, provides clarity on an important issue in the lives of Christians.

Il est fréquent d’entendre les gens parler de santé, de richesse et de prospérité comme étant des signes de la bénédiction de Dieu.

Sproul examine une section bien appréciée du Nouveau Testament appelée les « béatitudes ». Il utilise les célèbres paroles prononcées par Jésus au début du sermon sur la montagne pour expliquer que la vraie bénédiction n’est possible qu’en saisissant la grâce de Dieu en Jésus-Christ.
