What should be the believer's response to worldly riches according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are encouraged to use wealth wisely for God's glory rather than hoarding it for selfish desires.

In James 5, the conduct of the rich is addressed, illustrating that wealth is not inherently sinful, but the misuse of it is. Believers are warned against hoarding riches and using them for corrupt purposes. Instead, they should view their possessions through the lens of stewardship, understanding that all they have is given by God for His glory and the good of others. The call is to remain detached from materialism, recognizing that true riches are found in Christ. Furthermore, believers are encouraged to use their resources to support the work of the gospel and to care for those in need, demonstrating the transformational power of God’s grace in their lives.
