Growth in God: Guarding Against Greed and Loving God’s Provision

📖 Introduction

Welcome to your 21-day Bible study on Growth, focusing on guarding against greed and embracing God's provision. In our modern world, the pursuit of money and material possessions can easily entangle our hearts, leading us away from the abundant, eternal life God desires for us. The Scriptures repeatedly warn about the love of money, highlighting it as a root of many kinds of evil. As believers, understanding this truth is vital for our spiritual growth and well-being.

1 Timothy 6 serves as a pivotal passage to expose the dangers of greed and to guide us toward contentment and trust in God’s faithful provision. This letter from the Apostle Paul to his young protégé Timothy addresses the destructive nature of the love of money, contrasting it with the life of faith, godliness, and generosity that believers are called to pursue.

Throughout these 21 days, we will journey through related Scriptures alongside 1 Timothy 6, unveiling practical wisdom and spiritual insights. We will learn how love of money can choke the soul, distract us from God’s purposes, and cause many sorrows. Yet, we will also discover God’s promises to provide for our needs, His call to godliness, and the spiritual growth that comes from trusting Him rather than wealth.

This study encourages deep reflection and an honest heart before God. We will face questions about our priorities and where our true treasure lies. Growth in this area is more than avoiding greed—it’s about embracing God’s path to contentment, generosity, and eternal reward. By the end of these three weeks, may you be strengthened, equipped, and inspired to live by faith, free from the destructive love of money, and filled with the peace that comes from God’s provision.

Let’s embark on this journey of growth together, seeking His wisdom and grace to guard our souls and flourish in His abundant life.
