The Bible addresses money more than almost any other topic — Jesus spoke about it more than heaven and hell combined. Scripture does not teach that money is evil, but that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. The biblical framework treats money as a tool and a test: how we handle it reveals the true condition of our hearts and our trust in God as provider.
Key Question
Is money evil, or is it our relationship to money that matters?
Matthew 6:24
“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.”
1 Timothy 6:10
“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.”
Proverbs 3:9-10
“Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.”
“Jesus talked about money more than He talked about heaven and hell combined — not because money is the most important thing, but because it's the thing most likely to compete with God for the throne of our hearts.”
“The issue is never how much money you have — it's whether money has you. You can be poor and love money. You can be wealthy and be generous. The heart is the issue, not the bank account.”
