What does the Bible say about our possessions?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that our true wealth is not in temporal possessions but in having Christ as our lasting possession.

The Scriptures emphasize that true life and wealth are rooted in a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. As Job expressed in his profound mourning, all earthly possessions are temporary; he acknowledged that he came into the world naked and would return in the same state. Job's acknowledgment serves as a foundation for understanding that our temporal investments and achievements will not endure beyond this life. In Ecclesiastes, we see that one cannot carry away the fruits of their labor into the next life. Therefore, seeking Christ, the one lasting possession, should be our primary focus.
