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.
