You probably won’t be surprised to learn that the Bible addresses the topic of money. In this article, we’ll explore five inspiring Bible verses about money from scripture and share thoughts for each quote as they relate to our Christian debt relief program.

Deuteronomy 15:10- Our First Bible Verse About Money

Give generously to him and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to.” 

Deuteronomy 15:10

This Bible quote echoes a central theme of Christianity which is generosity towards others.

We can see from this passage that God rewards us when we give generously. The rewards may not be what we expect them to be, though. God knows how we need Him and, though it can be challenging, trusting that He will have His hand in our life is where faith really steps in.

The Book of Matthew Delivers Bible Verses About Money

“If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” 

Matthew 19:21

The book of Matthew presents an incredible dialogue between Jesus and some Pharisees who came to test him while he was in Judea after leaving Galilee.

Here, Jesus explains to the Pharisees that to be perfect (which is quite the word!), they must give their worldly possessions to the poor to gain treasures in heaven.

The following line, “then come, follow me.” is of equal importance.

It shows that not only do we need to make the physical sacrifice of living humbly and giving to those less fortunate, but we also need to take the spiritual journey to follow Christ.

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” 

Matthew 19:23-24

Wow.

Jesus doesn’t mince words here.

This Bible verse on money brings up a problematic concept in Christianity. The idea is that money and material wealth can be obstacles for people looking to grow in their faith.

“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

How do those who are financially blessed receive this?

How would we expect Jesus to define “rich?”

We’ve written on this topic before. It is one that you might want to consider prayerfully and discuss with others. No matter the outcome, the conversations will lead to growth in your walk with Jesus.

The Book of Matthew Devliers Again

“So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.” 

Matthew 6:2-4

This is a long one. It could almost command two separate entries, but we’re going to do our best to break this Bible verse on money down for you.

We find a passage that reminds us of the act of giving in secret—you guessed it—in the book of Matthew.

As a company providing a Christian debt relief program, we help those in need and encourage others by example. We feel that God is pleased when we help others around us. It brings us joy and lifts our hearts.

As a business practice, we choose not to share these successes loudly for all to hear. That may work against us when it comes to conventional marketing best practices, but we need to operate our business in a way that we feel follows God’s word. We incorporate Christian financial management right into our business.

Whether you give a generous offering or volunteer your time, the act of giving is an important one and should be done without fanfare or to gain praise from people around us. The idea is to do something good for others and tell nobody about it. It can be surprisingly difficult! But, it can also be such a valuable step toward humility.

Here’s an example. There was this one time when… just kidding!

The Book of Matther Delivers Again and Again!

“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” 

Matthew 6:24

Again, Jesus is pretty clear here with his words.

The command to not serve two masters may be a tough one for many of us who have been taught that money and finances are always something positive, or at least neutral in our lives. However, we must remember that no matter what our profession might be (or even if we are not working a traditional job), we serve only one true master.

When we over-emphasize our pursuit of money over our pursuit of Jesus, we serve more than one master. As Christians, we desire that all areas of life lead back toward Jesus. Allow your faith to drive your ambitions, and you’ll be walking confidently with Christ.

Growing With Christ

To continuously grow in your faith, be sure to incorporate it in all areas of your life. Be humble. Give generously. Read Bible verses on money. Practice Christian financial management. Consider a Christian debt relief program if you are in need of assistance. All of these things will help you grow in your relationship with Christ.
