Love of Money

Show Indonesian Version

I Tim 6:7

For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

 

The life of every believer should depend on faith of God’s promises. We need to realize that we will face trouble and spiritual war during our lifetime. But the Bible clearly stated that our faith overcomes the world. “And this is the victory that has overcome the world––our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?” (1 John 5:4b-5)

What is “the world”? It is the system and the ways of the world: being selfish, collecting wealth improperly, treating the weak badly, and taking advantage from others. Only faith can overcome our flesh so we can live according to God’s will.

For instance, we tend to desire something. There’s nothing wrong with desire to own something, if it’s noble and good for us. But if it’s bad, it will ruin our life. (read I Tim 6:9-10)

 

Being rich and love of money is human’s desire. In the end such desire will ruin his life.
