The Bible describes wealth and poverty without condemning either, emphasizing that both rich and poor can be found in various spiritual conditions.
In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, the Bible illustrates the lives of a wealthy man and a beggar, underscoring that the Scriptures do not praise poverty nor condemn wealth. Jesus describes their circumstances but refrains from drawing moral conclusions about their eternal fates. Thus, it is vital to recognize that not all wealthy individuals are evil, nor are all poor individuals inherently good. The disparity in worldly conditions is a reflection of the brokenness of our fallen world.
