What does the Bible say about having a house?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible does not prohibit owning a house; in fact, many biblical figures had homes.

Scripturally, owning a house is not viewed as sinful. David, a man after God's own heart, had his own house, which he referred to as his. This is emphasized in 1 Chronicles 17, where David expresses his desire to build a house for the ark of the covenant, indicating that having a place to dwell is entirely permissible. Furthermore, Paul and other New Testament saints owned homes, showing that God does not call for believers to abandon their personal properties. Ownership is established under God's creation order, allowing us to enjoy the blessings of home and family.
