Friends, everything we see on earth is created by God. One of them is money. Today we will discuss the money that we need to be a faithful person for. The Bible teaches us to use its blessings with experience so that we can glorify God. Divine wisdom is needed to use this money.
Moreover, we need to use this money not only for our own needs but also to serve others and fulfill God’s purposes. We need to give this money to the needy and use it in all the works of the church. So that many lost souls can return to God.
Friends, if there is anything more to say about this money, it would be that it is not everything, but money is not everything. We are told not to be too attached to this money. The Bible warns us that the love of money is the root of all evil. So when we trust in money instead of trusting in God, we deviate from our true goal. Instead, we should seek righteousness first. This means that we should see righteousness before everything else.
Dear friends, in the end I would like to say that we should surrender the money we earn to God. Let us commit ourselves to God. By doing this, we store up treasures in heaven.
Dear friends, now let’s see the Bible scriptures below that talk about ‘being a faithful and good steward of money’.
