Jesus talked about money more than almost any other topic — more than heaven and hell combined. The Bible's teaching on wealth is nuanced: money itself is not evil, but the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil (1 Timothy 6:10).
Key Question
What does the Bible say about money and wealth?
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.”
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.”
“Money is one of the most powerful counterfeit gods. It promises security, freedom, and significance — the very things only God can truly provide.”
“The issue is not the size of your bank account but the size of your God. A person with little money can be just as enslaved to it as a billionaire.”
“You can tell what you really believe about eternity by how you handle your money. Generosity is an act of faith — it says 'I trust God more than my savings account.'”
