What Does the Bible Say About Wealth?
Key Scriptures and spiritual guidance on wealth
Библия говорит о богатстве во многих местах, предостерегая о его опасностях и призывая использовать его мудро. Хотя материальные блага могут приносить радость, они не должны стать предметом нашего почитания или заменять наше отношение с Богом. Библия учит о щедрости, бескорыстной помощи бедным и нуждающимся, и о том, что наше настоящее и вечное богатство заключается в отношениях с Богом и ближними.
