Passive Income Through a Biblical Lens

3 天中的第 3 天

Today, we'll be exploring the concepts of generosity, contentment, and the purpose of passive income from a biblical perspective.

The Bible has much to say about generosity and giving. 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 encourages us, "Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." Acts 20:35 reminds us of Jesus' words, "It is more blessed to give than to receive."

Contentment is another essential biblical theme. In Philippians 4:11-13, the Apostle Paul writes, "I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances... I can do all this through him who gives me strength." Likewise, Hebrews 13:5 encourages us to be content with what we have, knowing that God will never leave nor forsake us.

So how does passive income fit into all this? Well, I believe passive income can be a powerful tool for living out these principles. By generating additional income, we have more resources to generously bless others and advance God's kingdom.

But as we discussed yesterday, it's crucial that we align our pursuit of passive income with a Christ-centered purpose. Colossians 3:23-24 reminds us, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters... It is the Lord Christ you are serving."

As we reflect on these truths, let's consider the following questions:

  1. How does your current level of generosity align with biblical teachings on giving?
  2. In what ways can you cultivate contentment in your life, regardless of your financial situation?
  3. How might you use passive income to bless others and advance God's kingdom?

Let's pray:

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your abundant generosity toward me. Teach me to be generous and content in all circumstances, trusting that You will provide for my needs. As I pursue passive income, help me to keep my focus on Christ and use the resources You've given me to bless others and advance Your kingdom. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

If you enjoyed this plan, you’ll love my award-winning book Simple Money, Rich Life. It’s the operating manual we (a broke, middle-class couple) followed to get full control of our money and give away $1 million by age 40. It'll help you earn more, save more, and have more fun giving than you thought possible… all without a hint of guilt or shame. As a thank you I’d love to give you a copy. All I ask is that you help me cover shipping and handling. Sound good? Get it here:
