Why is it hard for the wealthy to enter the kingdom of God?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus explains that those who trust in riches find it very difficult to enter the kingdom of God.

In Mark 10:23-25, Jesus says, 'How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!' He emphasizes that trusting in wealth can blind individuals to their spiritual need and lead them to prioritize material security over their relationship with God. The disciples are astonished, asking, 'Who then can be saved?' Jesus responds, 'With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible' (Mark 10:27). This highlights the necessity of divine intervention for salvation, regardless of one's social status.
