Happy Sunday! To close our week on debt, I wanted to share a few verses from the Bible on what it says about debt. It’s pretty clear in God’s word that we are to avoid and pay off our debts. Have a restful and lovely day!
Deuteronomy 15:6
For the Lord your God will bless you as He has promised you, and you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow; and you will rule over many nations, but they will not rule over you.
Deuteronomy 28:12
The Lord will open for you His good storehouse, the heavens, to give rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hand; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.
2 Kings 4:7
Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debt, and you and your sons can live on the rest.”
Psalm 37:21
The wicked borrows and does not pay back, but the righteous is gracious and gives.
Proverbs 22:7
The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower becomes the lender’s slave.
Proverbs 22:26-27
Do not be a man who strikes hands in pledge or puts up security for debts; if you lack the means to pay, your very bed will be snatched from under you.
Ecclesiastes 5:5
It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay.
Romans 13:8
Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
