God loves you immensely and desires that you be close to Him even though you deserve eternal damnation based on the sins you've committed throughout your life. By Jesus Christ, He made a way for your eternal security and by the power of the Holy Spirit you can forsake sinful, worldly ways of living by engaging a continual maturity process.
In order to do so, you must recognize that the most essential part of being a disciple of Jesus Christ is love. You must believe with all of your heart that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that you should not perish but have everlasting life. You must love God through Jesus Christ with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength and love others like you love yourself for these are the greatest commandments. This means you must manage your life, including your finances, in the way that God identified in the bible so you can be a good steward, Christ’s witness, and His example to other people.
Loving God leads you to pray daily and study scripture daily in order to hide His Word in your heart. It also leads you to exhibit the fruit of the spirit in your life and communication. The fruit of self-control is especially important in helping you manage the money God has allowed you to have. Without it you will not truly fulfill the purpose God has for your place in your family, ministry, or vocation. Loving people leads you to fellowship with other believers weekly. It helps you know that you need what they can provide and they need what only you can provide.
When asked what the greatest commandment is, really listen and absorb what Jesus said, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength and the second is like unto it, love your neighbor as yourself.” It is through loving God and loving people in the manner described in the bible that you will have deeper fellowship with God in Christ, better relationships with those around you, and move forward to be a good steward of your life and finances and fulfill your purpose, ministry, and career calling.
