What does Jesus mean by 'you cannot serve two masters'?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus teaches that one cannot divide loyalty between God and earthly pursuits; true service must be singularly directed to God.

In Matthew 6:24, Jesus states, 'No man can serve two masters.' This underscores the reality that our allegiance cannot be split between God and the desires of this world, represented by 'Mammon.' The historic Reformed perspective upholds that true faith and service stem from understanding God’s sovereignty and grace. When believers recognize that their ultimate treasure and reward come from their relationship with God, they’re compelled to live out their faith without duplicity, fully trusting in His provision rather than clinging to earthly wealth or approval.
