Sin springs from the fallen condition of our hearts and separates people from God. Tragically, our world is broken because of this, and the tendency towards evil touches every part of our lives, including our finances.That’s why we need Jesus, right? Today we’ll focus on envy and greed – both of which are on the list of “Seven Deadly Sins”, drawn up by believers in the 4th Century to describe the worst kinds of human desires. ENVY: Defined as a sense of jealousy and wanting what others have.It leads to covetousness, which directly goes against the Ten Commandments.Envy is divisive and deteriorates relationships by creating divides based on possessions.It results in a lack of inner peace, as affirmed by Proverbs 14:30. To overcome envy:Recognize it as a sin and repent.Seek God's forgiveness as guided by 1 John 1:9.Embrace the virtues of patience and kindness in 1 Corinthians 13:4.Cultivate gratitude and avoid comparisons, remembering God's provisions.Continually offer praise to God, inspired by Hebrews 13:15.G
