Gambling is an increasingly present practice in contemporary society, having a major attraction for those who want quick and often unexpected gains. Casinos, lotteries, and online platforms today offer easy opportunities to bet and try your luck, often with the promise of large and immediate financial rewards. But for many believers, this practice raises important moral questions and dilemmas of conscience, and the temptation of earning without work often conflicts with traditional values ​​of honest work and balance.

Thus, the question arises: Is gambling a sin? Is it compatible with Christian values? How can one reconcile the idea of ​​gambling with biblical principles, and what moral risks does this practice entail? Although the Bible does not explicitly mention all forms of gambling, it provides many moral guidelines by which we can analyze this practice. Believers are often advised to look to Scripture for answers to these dilemmas in an attempt to gain a deeper understanding of what gambling involves in the Bible.

Let's explore some key biblical themes, such as greed, reliance on luck and financial responsibility, to answer these dilemmas and see if gambling can be considered compatible with biblical values ​​or if it poses a danger to the spiritual and moral life of the believer.
