For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. I Timothy 6:10
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. I Timothy 6:10
The rich young ruler comes to mind concerning the love of money in which most of us have experienced at one time or another. As the scripture states, the love of money is a root, it's not the only one!
This world offers many things to captivate our hearts: cars, clothes, jewelry, real estate, etc. The rich boy approached Jesus asking Him what he had to do to inherit eternal life and Jesus told him to keep the commandments and the boy said he had kept them from his youth, which is strange because no one has!
Seeing the boy was rich from his father's inheritance, Jesus said to him, "One thing you lack, go and sell all you have and give it to the poor and come follow Me and you will have eternal life!" When the boy heard this, he became sorrowful and went away not able to let go of his great wealth that had his heart.
How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God. Luke18:21
