"Wealth guarantees happiness and security, leaving no room for worry or fear."

Yet, the Bible offers a starkly different perspective on the pursuit of wealth.
In 1 Timothy 6:10, it says, "For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs."

The Bible says that loving money too much can lead people to do bad things and make them very unhappy. It warns that some people have focused on getting money so much that they've stopped believing in God and ended up very sad.
