Overview
Revenue in Scripture encompasses income from various sources including trade, tribute, and commerce. The Bible presents revenue as a blessing from God when obtained through honest means, and emphasizes that those who receive revenue bear responsibility to steward it wisely and use it for God's purposes.
Key Scriptures
"Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold, besides that which the traders and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the land brought gold and silver to Solomon." (2 Chronicles 9:13-14, ESV)
"No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." (Matthew 6:24, ESV)
Application
Believers should view all revenue as ultimately from God's hand and commit to using financial resources in ways that honor Him and benefit others.
