The Bible teaches that greed is a dangerous attitude toward money, highlighting that the love of money is the root of all evil (1 Timothy 6:10).
Scripture clearly delineates that the issue is not money itself, but rather the heart's attitude towards it. Paul emphasizes in 1 Timothy 6:9-10 that those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, which can lead to destruction. Greed is identified as an insatiable desire for wealth, often accompanied by a disregard for how money is obtained. The Bible cautions against focusing on financial gain at the expense of one's spiritual integrity and relationship with God. Ultimately, the faithful believer recognizes that true contentment lies not in riches but in Christ alone, as depicted in Philippians 4:11-13.
