It is no wonder God has compel us to decide between him and money (Matthew 6:24). Apparently, man can bequeath anything, except money! Remember the rich man in Matthew 19:20-22 who claimed to live and do everything right, living a godly life but could not leave behind his money and earthly possessions to follow our Saviour Jesus.
The Bible consistently warn us the peril in trusting money, but today, man has corrupted God’s wisdom by intelligently interpreting that God and Money are a compatible partnership in our lives and in God’s will..Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts. (1 John 5:21)
Or how about Micah 3:11, You rulers govern for the bribes you can get; you priests teach God's laws only for a price; you prophets won't prophesy unless you are paid. Yet all of you claim you are depending on the LORD. "No harm can come to us," you say, "for the LORD is here among us."
I know the unquenchable question of how to manage and live lives without money perpetually attracts dispute. The obvious answer is and has always been in trusting God who is in Jesus Christ, his son our Saviour! Our heavenly Father promised that He will provide for us if only we placed our trust in Him (Matthew 6:30).
God gave us everything He created except money; Money is the creation of man, not Gods (Genesis 1:26-29).
Money is a product of man's sin and not a product of God's goodness!
