Ten Basic Bible Principles for Managing Money

Ten Basic Bible Principles 1. God Owns Everything 1 Chronicles 29:11-12 “Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. …Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things.”

Ten Basic Bible Principles 2. Give to God Regularly First 1 Corinthians 16:2 “On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made.”

Ten Basic Bible Principles 3. Pay Your Taxes Romans 13:6-7 “This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes;”

Ten Basic Bible Principles 4. Don’t Worry About Money Matthew 6:25-33 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?”

Ten Basic Bible Principles 5. Learn to be Content (not Envious) 1 Timothy 6:7-8 “For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.” Hebrews 13:5 “Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have”

Ten Basic Bible Principles 6. Save, but Don’t Get Greedy Proverbs 6:6-8 “Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.” Matthew 6:19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.”

Ten Basic Bible Principles 7. Be Honest in All Your Financial Dealings Proverbs 11:1 “The LORD abhors dishonest scales, but accurate weights are his delight.” Proverbs 11:3 “The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.”

Ten Basic Bible Principles 8. Pay Your Debts Psalm 37:21 “The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously” Proverbs 3:27 “Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.”

Ten Basic Bible Principles 9. Don’t Get Involved in “Get Rich Quick” Schemes 1 Timothy 6:9-10 “People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.”

Ten Basic Bible Principles 10. Work to Support Yourself and Your Family Ephesians 4:28 “He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands” 2 Thessalonians 3:10 “when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat."”

Faithful in the Little Things Luke 16:10-13 MMoney is the “little thing” that God tests our faithfulness with (10) Principle: Using God’s money faithfully determines if God will entrust us with true riches that will be our own (11-12) YYou cannot serve God and money (13)
