GOD SPEAKS OF FINANCE

Both in the secular world and in the church, some people think that neither God nor the Bible say much about finances. But, statistically, it is just the opposite: 16 of the 38 parables of Christ have to do with finances or some financial aspect is used to clarify some point of the kingdom of God. Jesus spoke more about finances in all the Gospels than about heaven and hell. In the Bible, there are about 500 verses about prayer, less than 500 verses of faith, but there are more than 2,300 biblical verses related to possessions, riches, abundance, money, material things, resources. So, throughout the Bible, this is something that is constantly talked about.

There are several reasons why we may think that God speaks so much of this subject through all the Scriptures:

1.-Money can not buy your salvation, but a bad relationship with money can make you lose it.
2.-Your relationship with finances has a direct impact on your relationship with God.
3.-Your way of managing finances determines what spiritual things God can entrust to you.
4.-Money and possessions compete with God in time and attention.
5.-Most of your life revolves around money.
6.-The last thing to become is your checkbook.
7.-On one occasion, people asked John the Baptist how it was shown that they had repented.

"7 And he said to the multitudes that came out to be baptized by him: O generation of vipers! Who has shown you how to run away from the coming rage? 8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves: We have Abraham as our father; because I tell you that God can raise children to Abraham even from these stones. 9 And also the ax is laid at the root of the trees; therefore, every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut and thrown into the fire. 10 And the people asked him, saying: Then what shall we do? 11 And he answered and said unto them, He that hath two coats shall give to him that hath none; and the one who has something to eat, do the same. 12 Some publicans also came to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what shall we do? 13 He said to them, "Do not demand more than what you are commanded. 14 Some soldiers also asked him, saying: And we, what shall we do? And he said to them: Do not extortion to anyone, nor slander; and be content with your wages. "Luke 3: 7-14

Do you want to show that you are repentant? Do not say by mouth that you are the son of Abraham; give fruits of repentance; because if God has to take from the stones children for Abraham, He will do it to fulfill his promise. Give, be generous. Do you have 2 robes? Offer 1; do not sell it You have to eat? Share Leave the trap, do not overcharge. You have work? Be satisfied with your salary.

The way you work with finances demonstrates the true repentance of your heart. And, many times, in your life, the last thing that is converted is your money. People say they serve God, they say they repent, but the way they think about finances says the opposite.

When Jesus entered the house of Zacchaeus, the latter said that he would give of his goods, that he would pay, that he would reestablish; that, if he had stolen, if someone had defrauded, he would pay with interest; and then Jesus stood up and said: Now salvation has just come to this home. Jesus did not say that salvation came because he arrived; salvation came because Zacchaeus understood that he had a bad relationship with money, decided to change it, showing that he truly repented.

Money and possessions give the mind of man a state of security and prestige in society, and that only God should give it to you.
Your security should not be in your bank account or in your retirement account; and your prestige should not come
from your finances, but the grace of God over your life should be enough to say that you are important, and your confidence should be that the God you serve is the one who supplies all your needs according to his riches in glory. Your help comes from the Lord, who made the heavens and the earth. No matter what the world does, what happens in the world, your economy depends on the Lord.

God speaks of money in His Word because He wants to correct your heart so that you are appropriately in your relationship with Him.
