Bible Question: Where in the bible does money and grace ever work together? |
Bible Answer: Well, if we look at Acts 2:45, we see where the believers had everything in common and shared with anyone that was in need (Acts 4:34). But must we be frugal and keep store for ourselves? I believe that it is important to tithe (even though we are not commanded to do so), and it is important to watch over your own finances in prayer and with Christ's leading in mind. Christ should also be clearly seen (evidence of) in what we spend our money on (or what we don't), but that doesn't mean that we should 'go broke' on certain charitable organizations, even though helping them is a very noble thing to do! But you should make doubly sure that you know exactly what and who you are contributing to, since the people of this world are more shrewd in relation to themselves than those who believe (Luke 16:8). So be careful! Money is something that we should be very careful with (1 Tim. 6:10) in relation to our own souls, as Ananias and Sapphira found out (Acts 5:1-11). |
