How do we know that trusting in wealth is dangerous?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture consistently warns that those who trust in their riches often find themselves spiritually impoverished and condemned.

In James 5, the writer portrays the rich as those who trust in their wealth, leading to a false sense of security and eventual condemnation. The phrase 'woe unto you that are rich' signifies a solemn warning about the spiritual peril of relying on material wealth. Throughout scripture, from the rich young ruler's interaction with Jesus to the parable of the rich fool, we see that wealth can easily become an obstacle to entering the kingdom of God. This illustrates the biblical principle that trust in riches is detrimental and that true blessing comes through recognizing our spiritual poverty and need for God's grace.
