The Lord often speaks about money in the Scriptures.
The fact is that there are more verses about this subject than there are about prayer or heaven and hell. Over half of Jesus’ recorded parables dealt with financial situations. We’ll never go wrong by heeding Bible’s instructions because it’s our best guide for personal financial management.
According to the Bible, what Is God’s viewpoint about money?
What we believe always influences how we handle money. That’s why it’s important to let our convictions be shaped by what the Lord says.
1.) God owns it all.
According to Psalm 24:1, “The earth is the Lord’s, and all it contains, the world, and those who dwell in it. This is the first and primary truth we must understand. Everything we consider to be ours is really His.
2.) We are stewards of God’s money.
If the Lord owns it all, then we are the stewards or managers of His possessions. Everything He entrusts to us is to be used as He directs.
3.) The Lord’s key word is “distribute.”
Unlike the world’s view, which emphasizes accumulation, God wants us to distribute what He gives us. Instead of working to receive all we can, we need to become people who work to give all we can.
