Gambling is a topic that has sparked much debate among Christians. The Bible does not explicitly mention gambling, but it offers guidance through various scriptures that can be interpreted in relation to gambling.
- Proverbs 13:11: “Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.” This verse suggests the ethical pitfall of seeking quick riches.
- 1 Timothy 6:10: “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils.” Gambling can foster greed and unhealthy obsession with wealth.
- Proverbs 28:20: “A faithful man will abound with blessings, but whoever hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.”
These verses highlight the spiritual and ethical concerns surrounding gambling, urging believers to seek steady and honest means of prosperity.
