What does the Bible say about prosperity?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible defines prosperity as spiritual wealth and growth in grace rather than material gain or success.

Biblical prosperity is fundamentally different from secular definitions. In spiritual terms, prosperity refers to a deepening relationship with God and growth in holiness. As highlighted in Isaiah 48:17, the Lord teaches us to profit, which includes understanding His ways and living according to His commandments. This 'prosperity' is not about accumulating wealth but gaining spiritual insight and maturity. The true measure of prosperity is found in our relationship with God and the manifestations of His grace in our lives. Colossians 3:2 encourages believers to set their minds on things above, indicating that lasting prosperity is spiritual rather than material.
