How is there relevant to the world we live in or are they just assumptions? Does scripture give support for the above? The following statements are bold assertions, but are they true in light of what we know about worldwide poverty and corruption

1) What I have God entrusts to me.

2) Since everything belongs to God there is no shortage of resources in each locale to accomplish all that God desires to accomplish.

3) Since everything belongs to God there is doesn’t need to be any competition for resources.

4) Everything belongs to God therefore all resources are usable for God’s purposes.

How is there relevant to the world we live in or are they just assumptions?
Does scripture give support for the above?
