What Does the Bible Say About Wealth?
Key Scriptures and spiritual guidance on wealth
Biblia mówi o bogactwie w wielu miejscach, zwracając uwagę na niebezpieczeństwa związane z zbytnim przywiązaniem do pieniędzy. Mimo że bogactwo samo w sobie nie jest złe, Biblia ostrzega przed chciwością i zazdrością, które mogą wyniknąć z posiadania dużych dóbr materialnych. Zamiast tego, zachęca do dzielenia się z innymi i kierowania swoich serc ku Bogu, a nie ku bogactwom doczesnym.
