Is it right for Christians to invest in dividend stocks like YMAX and ULTY, it’s important to consider both biblical principles and the specific nature of these investments. These investments could be a great source of income.
Biblical and Christian Principles Around Investing
• The Bible does not prohibit investing. In fact, parables like the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14–30) encourage wise stewardship and making productive use of resources entrusted to you.
• Christians are encouraged to avoid greed, make decisions prayerfully, and ensure their investments do not conflict with their values. Many Christians seek to align their portfolios with biblical values, avoiding companies or funds that profit from activities considered sinful (e.g., pornography, abortion, predatory lending).
• Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) is a movement helping Christians filter investments based on faith-aligned moral screens.
• Key questions to ask as a Christian investor include: Are you stewarding resources wisely? Are you providing for your family? Is there any conflict with your values in the underlying holdings? Is your motivation consistent with Christian stewardship, not just personal gain?
