13 and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold
increase and all you have is multiplied, 14 then your heart will become
proud and you will forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of
Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 15 He led you through the vast and
dreadful wilderness, that thirsty and waterless land, with its venomous
snakes and scorpions. He brought you water out of hard rock. 16 He
gave you manna to eat in the wilderness, something your ancestors
had never known, to humble and test you so that in the end it might go
well with you. 17 You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength
of my hands have produced this wealth for me.” 18 But remember the
Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth,
and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it
is today. Deuteronomy 8:13-18
In the book of Matthew 19:24 it says, “Again I tell you, it is easier for
a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into
the Kingdom of God.” The passage talks about people who are
wealthy but because wealth, it has been harder for them to obey God,
to follow Jesus Christ.
Do Not Let Your Hearts Love Money
In the book of 1 Timothy 6:10 it says, “For the love of money is a root
of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their
greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” The
Bible has been very clear that the “Love of Money, is the root of all
evil.” When we start loving money, it will be the beginning of our
spiritual downfall. Love of money is a form of idolatry which is
evidenced by covetousness, evil desires, greediness and all other
kinds of evil.
