what does the bible say?
The Bible teaches that managing finances wisely involves avoiding irresponsible debt, working diligently, and being generous, rather than hoarding wealth. It warns against loving money, as wealth is temporary and does not satisfy. Both the Old and New Testaments encourage wise stewardship, planning for the future, and using money to meet needs and glorify God. We are called to give generously and cheerfully, trusting in God’s provision. Ultimately, our finances belong to God, and we should seek His wisdom to manage them in a way that honors Him.
