Christian Teachings On Wealth and Poverty. Terri Dale. In this essay, I will be outlining the Christian teachings on wealth and poverty. I will be splitting my essay up into two parts; Christian views on wealth, and Christian views on poverty. I will be using lots of statements from the Bible, the Old Testament and the New Testament from the church, and the Gospel; to justify my work which Christians base their teachings upon. Wealth is defined as the state of being rich and affluent; having a plentiful supply of material goods and money, and Poverty is defined as the state of having little or no money and few or no material possessions.Christians believe that wealth can be either used for good, or for evil. For example, money can be used wisely for buying food for the poor, and it can be used wrong by supplying terrorists with weapons. Jesus always taught that wealth cannot lead you to true happiness and wealth leads to egoistic and self-indulgent people.
