Write an essay of at least 150 words that makes clear the biblical
perspective on covetousness and greed versus Contentment and
generosity. Include at least three scripture references in your
essay and discuss their meaning.
Your Answer:
McQuilkin & Copan stated, "Scripture clearly prohibits greed or
coveting, Paul calls it “idolatry. To covet can involve both desiring
and seeking for something, someone, some position, some
recognition or some pleasure not in the will of God." The act of
Covetous and greed blocks and diminishes the very nature of
Contentment and generosity. To be content in the nature and love
of God, gives the believer the privilege to be in whatever position
in life they find themselves, knowing that God is with them, and
more in importantly, God will never leave or forsake them. When
a person is blinded by Covetousness and greed, they are not
focused on the love, will and nature of God. Instead, they are
overly incumbered by the things and happening of someone else.
While failing to realize that God is not obligated to prosper and
bless a single person, but what we put out into the world returns
to us . The Bible declares, (Galatians 6:7 KJV) "Be not deceived;
God is not mocked. For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he
also reap.
