Luke 16:13-15
13 “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." 14 Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him. 15 And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God."
If you love money, not just have it, then your heart's allegiance is not just divided with God and self. Such love of money is truly the root, the cause of evil - it makes men push God aside for self and treat others without love or consideration. God knows our hearts and others will see the results of this as we attempt to justify ourselves. He also calls this love of money an abomination, a detestable idolatry. Who do we serve?
