What does the Bible say about owning a house?

Answered in 1 source

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

Owning a house is not only permissible in the Bible but is also demonstrated by several notable figures. For example, King David had a house that he built from cedar, and so did Lydia and Martha. The ownership of a home indicates God's blessings and provision in the lives of His people, leading us to understand that there is nothing inherently wrong with having a house. In fact, it's a testament to our stewardship of God's blessings.
Scripture References: 1 Chronicles 17:1-5, Romans 15:4
