what would be a good quote from the Bible that explains that luxury is not a need?

Answer 1

I Timothy 6 v. 6: "Godliness with contentment is great gain."

When people feel that they have abundance, even when it isn't very much, they are much richer than people who are constantly chasing after more!

Probverbs 15 v. 16-17:

"Better a little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth with turmoil. Better a meal of vegetables where there is love than a fattened calf with hatred."

Answer 2

Matthew 6: 25-34---......take no thought what ye shall eat or drink or wear. consiser the fowls, God takes care of them. Are ye not much better than they?.....Consider the liliees of the field , how they grow, they toil not neither do they spin, And yet I say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. VS. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you.


God provides all that we need. Luke 12:34--- For where your treasure is there will your heart be also.

KJV

Answer 3

Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
Matthew 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

Timothy I 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Answer 4

First of all God wants to give us the Desires of our Hearts, His Cup Runneth over. If we are walking, acting, talking and living the word then God will supply all of our needs and give us the desires of our hearts. If anyone walks, talks, acts and lives material things then God is not first in our lives. "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God"

Answer 5

I say luxury is a need.
