The Bible has had a profound impact on the way we think about money and finance. Loans, debt, and interest are all biblical concepts.

It’s hard sometimes because we know how this world works.

Nothing is free.

To put food in your mouth, you need money.

To put clothes on your back, you need money. To put a roof over your head, you need money.

The world revolves around money.

To live, you need money.

But how many of us know the life we live here on earth isn’t the real life?

How many of us know that true (eternal) life is in Heaven?

However much we accumulate here on earth… whatever life we create here on earth will not last (1 Timothy 6:7).

In the end, our abundance of wealth and possessions do not matter. (Luke 12:15).

It’s not about the life we live here. It’s about the life we’re promised to live in the Kingdom (1 Timothy 6:19).

Jesus

encouraged us to store up treasures for ourselves in Heaven.

However much we accumulate there will last (Matthew 6:19-20)

We serve a supernatural, Mighty God, who takes care of His children.

We just have to seek Him first. When we seek Him first, He will more than provide for our needs (Matthew 6:31-33). And He will give us entry into His Kingdom.
