Faithful Finances: Lessons from Forgiveness and Debt

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this 7-day study on Finances through the lens of forgiveness. Financial struggles and debts can often weigh heavily on us, impacting more than just our wallets—they affect our peace, relationships, and spiritual well-being. Yet, Scripture offers profound insights that connect our earthly finances to God's spiritual forgiveness.

In this study, we focus on the powerful teaching of Jesus regarding forgiven debt, especially as found in passages like the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant (Matthew 18:21-35). Here, Jesus reveals not only the mercy we should extend to others but also mirrors the lavish mercy God extends towards us when He forgives our sins.

As we journey over the next seven days, we will uncover biblical principles that show how financial forgiveness is more than a monetary repayment—it’s a picture of gospel grace. You will learn that understanding God’s forgiveness can transform your approach to managing finances, relieve burdens of guilt or fear, and inspire generosity and compassion.

Each day, we’ll engage with Scripture, inviting reflection, encouragement, and application. May this study deepen your trust in God’s provision and forgiveness, equip you with practical wisdom, and guide you toward a spiritually healthy relationship with money. Let’s begin by opening our hearts to both financial truth and divine grace.
