Money Is Necessary?

Money is necessary.  With it we buy things we need to live.  Many people don't have enough of it, are hungry and suffer the ravages of diseases.  Thus, poverty is a curse not a blessing.  On the other hand, many who are rich are often greedy and sometimes cause the suffering of the poor people.

But money itself does not cause the evil which often results from its use.  It is the love of money that is the root of all sorts of evil.  The danger isn't in having money, but in loving it.

Romans 6:16 says, "You are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death or of obedience resulting in righteousness" 

It isn't coincidental that people who love money fall into all sorts of evil.  When one loves money, he begins to obey the dictates of spiritual wickedness with his flesh.  This is why the love of money is the root of all sorts of evils.
