The Bible does not forbid becoming rich. It forbids loving money.

The Bible doesn't forbid becoming rich.

It forbids loving money.

This means...don't let money control you.

...Paul says that in the last days...people will love themselves, love money, and even Christians will live in a way that pleases themselves more than God.
...Isn't that time now? 😳
...Jesus taught us to love God and love our neighbor.

Paul writes that even if you seem to have nothing, you have everything!

...Money is...necessary for us to live!

'Loving' and 'liking' are different.

Learn to love money!

But...don't love it! 😨
Otherwise, you'll become a slave to money.

...The source of our peace and inner fulfillment is not money or circumstances, but a firm relationship with the living Lord.

That is...peace.

… "I will never leave you, nor will I abandon you!"
This is a powerful promise that no matter what difficulties or loneliness you face in life, God will never leave you for a single moment and will never forsake you.

Shalom 😃
