What Does the Bible Say About Money and Stewardship?

Did you know that there are roughly 2,350 verses concerning money in the Bible? That’s almost twice as many as verses about faith and prayer combined. Jesus had a lot to say about money:

  • Nearly 15% of everything Jesus spoke about related to money and possessions

  • 16 out of his 38 parables dealt with the topic of money

  • The only subject Jesus taught more about than money was the Kingdom of God

Why? Because the Scriptures are very clear about an inherent connection between a person’s spiritual life, attitudes, and actions concerning money and possessions.
