Wealth: The Bible's Warning

The Bible, however, repeatedly warns us against the dangers of wealth, and urges us to be content with whatever God gives us. Why is this? One reason is because money can easily take over the center of our lives -- a place that belongs only to God. In addition, greed can creep into our lives (even as Christians), overwhelming us and tempting us into paths we shouldn't follow. Jesus warned, "No one can serve two masters.... You cannot serve both God and Money" (Matthew 6:24).
