Christians should invest, not simply to accumulate wealth for their own sake, but to increase their effectiveness for God’s Kingdom. Teaching Christians to invest is as important as teaching them how to budget. It’s all part of living as faithful stewards.
<h3>What the Bible Says About Investing?</h3>
Investing is a way to multiply the resources God has given us to provide for our current and future needs. It is also a means to increase what we have available to impact God’s kingdom.
- The stewards in Matthew 25:14-28 that multiplied their talents were commended for their good work but also entrusted with more talents.
God is faithful to always provide for our needs, and He is not against prosperity. However, we are responsible to be faithful in return to use our resources to honor God.
If you desire to be entrusted with greater riches, you need to be faithful with few (Luke 16:10-11). This means learning to be content with what you have and disciplined in your management of a little.
<u>Reasons To Invest :</u>
<u>1. To Further God’s Work.</u>
In Acts 4:34, the believers sold their own land and possessions to meet the needs of other believers. God blessed some with a surplus to be used in the future.
Obviously, those that have more are able to give more to God’s work. That doesn’t mean that everyone will, but I encourage you to be generous in how you give.
<u>2. To Care For Your Family.</u>
Having a surplus doesn’t necessarily mean you have to give it all away. Giving and saving are both biblical principles, and stewards should have a proper balance between the two.
We are to give first to advance God’s work, save a portion to ensure we have an Emergency Fund, and then begin investing. Investing can be a wise way to save for college tuition, to provide for yourself during your later years of life, or to leave an inheritance for your children.
<u>3. To Be Free.</u>
When you have planned for your future and have the ability to personally fund your living expenses without working, then both your time and money are available to be used for the Kingdom.
