Bible Verses - God's Ownership

*For the source of this list, see the bottom of this post.

(I think this list follows the outline traced through my favorite little book on giving.)

 

God Owns Everything; We Are His Managers

• Deuteronomy 8:18 — “Remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth.”
• Romans 11:36a — “For from him and through him and to him are all things ...”
• 1 Corinthians 4:2 — “Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.”

*One of my favorite Web sites is GenerousGiving.org.  There, while searching for articles to cite for an essay I'm writing, I found a great list of Bible verses.  Not sure that they will keep this list up or move the page, and for my own reference, I decided to paste the entire list into several posts, my topic heading.  All verse are NIV, copyrighted by IBS, used by permission of Zondervan.
