The concept of revenues is closely tied to themes of stewardship, justice, and the moral use of wealth. The Bible provides guidance on how revenues should be acquired and used, emphasizing righteousness and the welfare of the community.<br><br><b>Old Testament References</b><br><br>1. <b>Agricultural Revenues</b>: In ancient Israel, much of the economy was based on agriculture. Revenues from the land were seen as blessings from God. <a href="/deuteronomy/8-7.htm">Deuteronomy 8:7-9</a> describes the Promised Land as a place of abundant resources: "For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land with streams and pools of water, with springs flowing in the valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey."<br><br>2. <b>Tithes and Offerings</b>: The Israelites were commanded to give a portion of their revenues back to God as tithes and offerings. This practice was a recognition of God's provision and a means to support the Levites, the poor, and the work of the temple. <a href="/leviticus/27-30.htm">Leviticus 27:30</a> states, "Thus any tithe of the land, whether from the seed of the land or the fruit of the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD."<br><br>3. <b>Just and Unjust Gains</b>: The Bible warns against acquiring revenues through unjust means. <a href="/proverbs/16-8.htm">Proverbs 16:8</a> teaches, "Better a little with righteousness than great gain with injustice." This highlights the importance of integrity in financial dealings.<br><br><b>New Testament Insights</b><br><br>1. <b>Parables of Stewardship</b>: Jesus often used parables to teach about the responsible use of resources. In the Parable of the Talents (<a href="/matthew/25-14.htm">Matthew 25:14-30</a>), the servants are entrusted with their master's wealth and are expected to manage it wisely. This parable underscores the principle that revenues should be used to further God's kingdom and purposes.<br><br>2. <b>Generosity and Sharing</b>: The early church exemplified a community where revenues were shared to meet the needs of all. <a href="/acts/4-34.htm">Acts 4:34-35</a> describes, "There were no needy ones among them, because those who owned lands or houses would sell their property, bring the proceeds from the sales, and lay them at the apostles’ feet for distribution to anyone as he had need."<br><br>3. <b>Warnings Against Greed</b>: The New Testament cautions believers against the love of money and the pursuit of wealth for its own sake. <a href="/1_timothy/6-10.htm">1 Timothy 6:10</a> warns, "For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows."<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The Bible presents revenues as a means by which individuals and communities can honor God and serve others. The acquisition and use of revenues are seen as a test of faithfulness and integrity. Believers are encouraged to view their financial resources as gifts from God, to be used for His glory and the benefit of others. The biblical perspective on revenues challenges individuals to prioritize spiritual wealth over material gain and to practice generosity, justice, and stewardship in all financial matters.<a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/gregory/the_epistles_of_saint_gregory_the_great/epistle_xi_to_maximianus_bishop.htm"><span class="l">Epistle xi.
