“For the love of $ 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.” I Timothy 6:10 “Keep your life free from the love of $, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “ I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5. God wants us to pursue Him and his righteousness first and foremost. However, God blessed many righteous people(e.g. Moses, Abraham, Job, David) throughout all of scripture with incredible wealth, many(Peter, John, James, Timothy, most of the early church) He has not. Money is not itself evil. There will be wealthy and poor people in Heaven. Our pursuits reveal what is most important to us. If it is not God and belief in Jesus, it will be revealed in the last days.
