/images/a/PnPHxjV-oTnDTQz-kOF_E)
Lidar com dinheiro e finanças é uma realidade prática da vida, e a Bíblia oferece princípios claros sobre como administrar recursos com sabedoria, responsabilidade e temor a Deus.
As Escrituras não tratam o dinheiro como algo negativo em si, mas mostram que a forma como lidamos com ele revela prioridades, valores e a condição do coração.
Neste artigo, você encontrará versículos que apresentam ensinamentos bíblicos sobre dinheiro e finanças, ajudando a desenvolver uma visão equilibrada e alinhada com os princípios de Deus.
1. Colocar Deus acima do dinheiro
Jesus taught that we should not try to serve God and accumulate money at the same time.
"No one is able to serve two different bosses at the same time. If he tried to do that, he would dislike one of them and love the other one, or he would be loyal to one of them and despise the other one [DOU]. Similarly, you cannot devote your life to worshipping God and worshipping money and material goods at the same time."
Instead, the most important thing you should be concerned about is to let God completely direct your life, and to strive to live righteously. If you do that, all the things that you need will be given to you {God will give you all the things that you need}.
A Bíblia ensina que Deus deve ser a prioridade, acima de qualquer recurso financeiro.
2. Evitar o amor ao dinheiro
But some people strongly desire to be rich. As a result, they do wrong things to get money, and this will cause them to be caught/trapped [MET] as animals get caught in traps. They foolishly desire many things, and those desires cause them to get hurt. And God will completely reject them! All kinds of bad things will happen to people who [PRS] desire to have a lot of money. Because some people longed for money, they have stopped believing the doctrine/teaching that all of us believe and they have caused themselves much grief/sadness.
Live without constantly coveting money, and be content with the things you possess, remembering what Moses wrote that God has said about supplying what you need,
I will never leave you,
I will never stop providing for you [DOU].
O problema não está no dinheiro, mas no apego a ele.
3. Administrar com sabedoria
People who plan carefully will surely have plenty of what they need;
those who act too quickly to become rich will become poor.
People who faithfully manage small matters will also faithfully manage important matters. People who are dishonest in the way they handle small matters will be dishonest in the way they handle important matters.
A boa administração é um princípio bíblico essencial.
4. Praticar a generosidade
Those who give generously to others will prosper;
if you help others, they/someone will help you, too.
Each of you should decide how much you (sg) should give, and then give that amount. You (sg) should not be thinking to yourself, "I really do not want to give this money." And you(sg) should not give just because someone tells you to give. Instead, you should give willingly and cheerfully, because God loves those who give cheerfully.
A generosidade faz parte da vida de quem entende o propósito dos recursos.
5. Evitar dívidas e agir com prudência
Rich people rule over poor people harshly,
and those who borrow money become like slaves [MET] of the people who lend money to them.
Do not leave any debt unpaid. Your only continual obligation is to love one another, because doing so fulfills all that God’s law requires.
Pay all of your debts when you are supposed to pay them. The only thing that is like a debt that you should never stop paying is to love one another. Whoever loves others has fulfilled all that God requires in his laws.
A Bíblia incentiva responsabilidade e cautela nas finanças.
6. Confiar na provisão de Deus
Do not leave any debt unpaid. Your only continual obligation is to love one another, because doing so fulfills all that God’s law requires.
Pay all of your debts when you are supposed to pay them. The only thing that is like a debt that you should never stop paying is to love one another. Whoever loves others has fulfilled all that God requires in his laws.
Moreover, God, whom I serve, has an unlimited supply of everything that we(inc) need. And as a result, because of your relationship with Christ Jesus, he will completely supply everything that you need.
A confiança em Deus traz equilíbrio em relação ao dinheiro.
7. Usar os recursos com propósito eterno
Jesus taught that we should do deeds that please God. That will be like putting treasures in heaven.
"Do not selfishly accumulate large quantities of money and material goods for yourselves on this earth, because the earth is where everything is destroyed. For example, on earth termites ruin things, and things rust, and thieves enter buildings and steal things. Instead, do deeds that will please God. Your doing such deeds will be like storing treasures in heaven [MET]. Nothing perishes in heaven. In heaven no termites ruin things, nothing rusts, and thieves do not enter buildings and steal.
Then he said to the whole crowd, "Guard yourselves very carefully, in order that you do not desire other people’s things in any way! No one can make his life secure by obtaining many possessions."
Os recursos devem ser usados com visão espiritual e propósito eterno.

Os ensinamentos bíblicos sobre dinheiro e finanças mostram que a questão central não é quanto se possui, mas como se administra e qual é a prioridade do coração.
