No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
— Matthew 6:24
Jesus makes clear that we must choose who will be our master—God or money. As God’s servants, he wants our total allegiance. Let’s compare these two masters. Money calls us to be selfish and to hoard our wealth. God says, “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). Money says we should not give, because we will not have enough to provide for our needs
As Christ-followers, we make a difference in our world by living in a way opposite to the god of money. As our faith in Jesus grows, our lives are marked by selflessness, generosity, and love. The world hungers for Christ and the richness he brings through us.
