The biblical definition for financial independence
is being in the place where you never
have to make a decision based on financial
considerations, but simply on the revealed
will of God. This is the condition in which
every Christian should live. This should be
our first and most important financial goal.
Regardless of how bad our present
financial condition is, there is a very simple
biblical formula that will provide a sure way
of escape:
REPENTANCE + OBEDIENCE = FREEDOM
We must start by recognizing any ways
in which we have departed from the clear
mandates of Scripture and then begin to
obey the clear and simple biblical instructions
for financial management. If we do, we will
escape our present situation and begin to live
a life of freedom that is better than we have
ever dreamed.
Wrong move
Most of us think that the way out of
our situation is to make more money. That
is almost never the answer to financial
problems and can even make matters worse.
God’s plan for financial independence does
not require us to make more money, and He
is probably not going to give us a revelation
so that we can win the lottery. We may not
think that there is any other way, but there is.
