Os ensinamentos de Jesus sobre generosidade e desapego material
Jesus nos ensinou que a verdadeira riqueza está em investir no Reino de Deus, não nos bens materiais. Obviamente, não estamos sendo literais, é claro que queremos que você tenha suas coisas e conquistas, mas saiba que isso é matéria, é mundando.
A riqueza que realmente engrandece sua alma, é àquela do Reino dos Céus, a riqueza da fé, do Amor de nosso Deus. Então tome cuidado com excessos, consumismo, materialismo… nada disso será bom para você, muito menos agradará a Deus.
Algumas sugestões de leitura sobre o assunto:
Em Lucas 12:15-21, Jesus alerta contra a ganância, destacando que a vida não consiste na abundância de bens.
15 And he said to them, "Take heed, and beware of all covetousness; for a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."
16 And he told them a parable, saying, "The land of a rich man brought forth plentifully;
17 and he thought to himself, What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?'
18 And he said, I will do this: I will pull down my barns, and build larger ones; and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, be merry.'
20 But God said to him, Fool! This night your soul is required of you; and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?'
21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
Atos 20:35 reforça que a generosidade é um ato de fé e obediência.
35 In all things I have shown you that by so toiling one must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"
Marcos 10:21,22 nos ensina que seguir a Cristo exige abrir mão do apego material.

21 And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said to him, "You lack one thing; go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."
22 At that saying his countenance fell, and he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.
