Apostolic Finances

By Jeff van Wyk

It would appear that the Bible condemns the accumulation of wealth. Many passages of Scripture seem to suggest that the accumulation of wealth is evil while being poor is virtuous. It would appear that the Bible condemns the accumulation of wealth. The Biblical perspective of money should present wealth in a different perspective. The Bible distinguishes between possession of wealth and love of wealth. Only the love of money is condemned. The love of wealth and desire to become wealthy bring a variety of negative challenges that have the potential to shipwreck one's spiritual walk. A person's attitude towards money and generosity with one's wealth are fundamentally conditions of the heart that have not changed since the ancient world. Regardless of our level of wealth, we are still expected to depend on God and not on money for our spiritual destiny. God is not opposed to riches. In fact, He is the originator of financial blessings. Proverbs 10:22 - The blessing of the Lord makes one rich and He adds no sorrow with it. Psalm 35:27 - Let the Lord be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.
