Materialismo

Por Bíblia Online –

O materialismo é uma armadilha espiritual. A Bíblia alerta que o amor ao dinheiro é raiz de todos os males e nos chama a buscar tesouros no céu, não na terra.

O perigo das riquezas

Que aproveita ao homem ganhar o mundo inteiro e perder a sua alma? O materialismo engana e afasta do que realmente importa.

26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

36 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?

9 But those who purpose to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which plunge people into ruin and destruction.

7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is evident that we can carry nothing out.8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.

Tesouros no céu

Ajuntai tesouros no céu, onde traça e ferrugem não consomem. O bom nome vale mais que muitas riquezas, e a sabedoria supera o ouro.

19 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves dig through and steal;20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not dig through and steal.

21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

21 Jesus said to him, If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven; and come, follow Me.

1 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches; and loving favor rather than silver or gold.

16 How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver!

16 Better is a little with the fear of Jehovah than great treasure and turmoil with it.

Contentamento e generosidade

Grande ganho é a piedade com contentamento. A cobiça é idolatria, mas a generosidade traz alegria e bênção.

17 Command those who are rich in this present age not to be high-minded, nor to trust in the uncertainty of riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.

5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, By no means will I ever leave you nor ever forsake you.

5 Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: sexual perversion, uncleanness, passion, evil lusts, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

15 And He said to them, Take heed and beware of covetousness, for ones life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.

10 He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he who loves abundance, with gain. This also is vanity.

15 As he came forth from his mothers womb, naked he shall return, to go as he came. And from his labor he shall take away nothing that he may carry in his hand.

O invisível acima do visível

As coisas que se veem são temporais; as que não se veem são eternas. Devemos fixar os olhos no que é permanente e verdadeiro.

18 while we do not contemplate the things which are seen, but the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

11 The rich mans wealth is his strong city, and as a high wall in his own imagination.

4 Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.

5 Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away like an eagle into the heavens.

26 He covets greedily all day long, but the righteous gives and spares not.

8 Remove far from me vanity and lying words; give me neither poverty or riches, provide for me my prescribed portion of food;

9 in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in appropriate apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing,10 but, that which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works.

32 Now the multitude of those believing were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.
