According to Proverbs 19:17, "whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done," highlighting the responsibility that comes with wealth.

Ultimately, the Bible teaches that wealth is a trust from God, and as Psalms 24:1 states, "the earth is the Lord's, and everything in it," emphasizing our responsibility to use our resources wisely and generously.
