A Good Name
Ecclesiastes 7:1
A good name is better than oil of great price, and the day of death than the day of birth.
Also read, Prov 22:1, Acts 6:3, 1 Tim 3:2.
Whatsoever a one does, he or she should always weight the action and inaction against his or her name.
Acquiring wealth through unholy means mostly result to a bad name. A bad name is a problem to the named, the named's family and named's the religion.
You see, no matter the money and material things at the end, it doesn't worth the striping off of one's good name, look at Judas Iscariot. Beloved, good names are attractive and bad names are repulsive.
As a Christian, try to have a good name. God knows the importance of a good name that is why it is a criteria to the selection of church/Christian workers.
At death, it is your name that people will remember. Not your wealth but how you got the wealth. It's your name that will stand the test of time not your wealth.
The grace to have a good name be given us.
Shalom!!!
