What does the Bible say about serving God for gain?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against serving God for personal advantage, as true godliness is rooted in devotion to Him, not in seeking gain.

The Scriptures indicate that there are individuals who mistakenly believe that gain equates to godliness, serving the Lord primarily for their own benefit. 1 Timothy 6:5 highlights this error, where it suggests that some suppose that material gain signifies spiritual health. In reality, true godliness arises from a heartfelt devotion to Christ and recognizing Him as one's master. The pursuit of godliness should stem from a desire to honor God rather than the motive of personal enrichment.
Scripture References: 1 Timothy 6:5, 1 Timothy 6:6
