What Does the Bible Say About Wealth?
Key Scriptures and spiritual guidance on wealth
Raamattu käsittelee vaurautta monissa kohdissa ja tarjoaa viisautta ja varoituksia sen merkityksestä. Raamatussa opetetaan, että rikkaus ei saisi olla ylpeyden tai itsekkyyden lähde, vaan sitä tulisi käyttää hyvään ja auttamiseen lähimmäisiä. Vaurauden tavoittelu ei saisi häiritä suhdetta Jumalaan tai johtaa epäoikeudenmukaisuuteen muita kohtaan. Raamatun opetukset kannustavat kohtuullisuuteen, jakamiseen ja anteliaisuuteen vaurauden hallinnassa.
