How do we know if wealth is a distraction from God?

The scriptures emphasize that the pursuit of wealth can lead individuals away from true faith and a relationship with God. In Matthew 6:24, Jesus states, 'No one can serve two masters,' indicating that attachment to wealth can lead to a divided heart. The example of Lot shows how a focus on material wealth can lead to spiritual ruin. The believer must regularly examine their heart to ensure that their primary aim is not the accumulation of riches but glorifying God through their lives and actions.
