"Stay away from the love of money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, “I will never, never fail you nor forsake you.” That is why we can say without any doubt or fear, “The Lord is my Helper, and I am not afraid of anything that mere man can do to me.” (Hebrews 13: 5 - 6 TLB)
By dying Jesus Christ freed us from the fear of death. (Hebrews 2: 15)
By His poverty, we are freed from the fear of being poor. This fear has led many to be enslaved by money all their life. (Cf Hebrews 2: 15)
Man does not live on money alone. Man is created to live on every word that comes from the mouth of God. (Cf Matthew 4 : 4)
Paul says that he knows how to live as a rich man and how to live as a poor man. There is no situation he cannot find contentment because of Jesus Christ who has promised him His presence, protection and provision. He found his security in Jesus. ( Cf 2 Corinthians 12: 9-10; Philippians 4: 12)
