Summary/Abstract: Generally, the teachings of John Chrysostom about the correct use of wealth are still used by the Church today. He has believably set forth God’s will on these aspects, facing a strong opposition at that time. Eventually, he has been made a martyr for these beliefs. It would be wise for Christians today to adopt such a faith and boldly proclaim God’s teaching on the wealth of the rich society around them, no matter the resistance against this message.
