I am certainly not a scholar and can say I do not know the bible like I should however I can safely say the bible does not talk about Life Insurance by that name. There are many versus and scriptures however that talk about managing your money, staying out of debt, lending money, etc...
There is nothing wrong with taking care of loved ones or your obligations to cover your expenses when you pass away. There are ways you can have to benefit paid out as to prevent or at least minimize what I refer to as the "lottery syndrome" which is someone receiving a large sum of monies when they have not earned them. There is no respect for that money and therefor will and has been spent unwisely.
If you need more information, I can refer some books for you to read which draw upon scripture and managing your monies.
Life insurance was not in existence at the time the Bible was written, but there are verses that could relate to the concept of life insurance.
Prov. 13:22a "A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children.."
1 Tim 5:8 "But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for the members of his household, he has denied the faith..."
Life insurance is a financial vehicle, as are savings accounts, money markets, stock markets, etc. The Bible has a lot to say about money; it is up to you and God to determine what is right for you.
