Getting the Bible’s Perspective on Debt The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. Prov. 22:7 Work hard and become a leader; be lazy and become a slave. Prov. 12:24 NLT Don’t agree to guarantee another person’s debt or put up security for someone else. If you can’t pay it, even your bed will be snatched from under you. Prov. 22:26-27 NLT The wicked borrows and does not repay, but the righteous shows mercy and gives. Ps. 37:21 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law. Rom. 13:8 NIV Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” Heb. 13:5 NLT You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men. 1 Cor. 7:23 The wise have wealth and luxury, but fools spend whatever they get. Prov. 21:20 NLT But people who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows. 1 Tim. 6:9-10 NLT And He [Jesus] said to them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.” Luke 12:15 Look for the next Freedom From Debt Bible Study "13 Steps to Breaking the Cycle of Debt" in just two weeks!  This Bible Study has been taken from Daniel Kolenda’s new booklet “Freedom From Debt” and is for those who want to discover the Biblical guidelines to Financial Freedom.
