13 Timeless Finance Tips from The Bible

For those of you new to Free Money Finance, I post on The Bible and Money every Sunday. Here’s why.

Online Christian Colleges lists 13 timeless finance tips from the Bible (along with reference verses) as follows:

1. Make a budget so that you can anticipate your expenses ahead of time. Luke 14:28-30

2. Be honest without fail in your financial dealings and never try to cheat others. Proverbs 13:11

3. Be content with the things that you have. Philippians 4:11-13

4. Don’t be afraid of having success in your life. Deuteronomy 30:9

5. Pay off your debt as soon as possible. Proverbs 22:7

6. Avoid co-signing for other people. Proverbs 6:1-2

7. Don’t fall prey to get-rich-quick schemes. Proverbs 13:11

8. Be a cheerful giver, remembering the blessings you have been given. Luke 6:38

9. Seek wise counsel when you prepare to invest your money. Proverbs 15:22

10. Freely lend your money to those who need it, without worry of being repaid. Luke 6:35

11. Do not place money in a place of importance above God and your family; do not treat money as an idol. 1 Timothy 6:9-11

12. Plan for the future by saving your money wisely. Proverbs 6:6-8
