How should Christians view wealth?

Answered in 1 source

Christians should see wealth as a tool for service and a means to glorify God rather than an object of trust.

Wealth in itself is not sinful; rather, it is the attitude towards wealth that matters. Christians are taught to view wealth as a resource entrusted to them by God for His purposes. The notion that one cannot serve both God and mammon highlights the danger of placing trust in material wealth instead of God. As noted in 1 Timothy 6, believers are urged to be rich in good works and to understand that true riches are not measured by material wealth but by spiritual blessings in Christ. The focus should be on how we utilize our resources to reflect our faith and glorify God, rather than hoarding wealth for personal gain.
