It encompasses not only money but also land, livestock, and other forms of property. The Bible presents wealth as a multifaceted concept, with both positive and negative connotations depending on its use and the attitude of the possessor.<br><br><b>Old Testament Perspective:</b><br>In the Old Testament, wealth is often seen as a sign of God's blessing and favor. For instance, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were all wealthy patriarchs, and their riches were considered a testament to God's covenant with them (<a href="/genesis/13-2.htm">Genesis 13:2</a>; 26:12-14; 30:43). The book of Deuteronomy emphasizes that it is God who gives the power to gain wealth, highlighting the divine origin of material blessings (<a href="/deuteronomy/8-18.htm">Deuteronomy 8:18</a>: "But remember that it is the LORD your God who gives you the power to gain wealth, in order to confirm His covenant that He swore to your fathers, as it is today").<br><br>However, the Old Testament also warns against the dangers of wealth. The pursuit of riches can lead to idolatry and a departure from God's commandments. <a href="/proverbs/11-28.htm">Proverbs 11:28</a> states, "He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf." The prophets frequently criticized the wealthy for exploiting the poor and neglecting justice (<a href="/isaiah/3-14.htm">Isaiah 3:14-15</a>; <a href="/amos/4.htm">Amos 4:1</a>).<br><br><b>New Testament Perspective:</b><br>In the New Testament, Jesus and the apostles provide further insight into the spiritual implications of wealth. Jesus teaches that wealth can be a significant obstacle to entering the kingdom of God. In the encounter with the rich young ruler, Jesus declares, "Truly, I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven" (<a href="/matthew/19-23.htm">Matthew 19:23</a>). This teaching underscores the potential for wealth to become an idol that distracts from spiritual priorities.<br><br>The New Testament also emphasizes the responsibility of the wealthy to use their resources for the benefit of others. In <a href="/1_timothy/6-17.htm">1 Timothy 6:17-19</a> , Paul instructs, "Command those who are rich in this present age not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share."<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br>Wealth is not inherently evil, but the Bible consistently warns against the love of money, which is described as "a root of all kinds of evil" (<a href="/1_timothy/6-10.htm">1 Timothy 6:10</a>). The proper attitude towards wealth involves recognizing it as a stewardship from God, to be used for His glory and the advancement of His kingdom. Believers are called to be content with what they have and to seek first the kingdom of God (<a href="/matthew/6-33.htm">Matthew 6:33</a>).<br><br><b>Practical Applications:</b><br>Christians are encouraged to practice generosity, support the needy, and invest in eternal treasures rather than earthly wealth. The parable of the rich fool (<a href="/luke/12-16.htm">Luke 12:16-21</a>) serves as a cautionary tale against hoarding wealth without regard for one's spiritual state. Believers are reminded that true riches are found in a life devoted to God and His purposes.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br>While wealth can be a blessing, it requires careful management and a heart aligned with God's will. The biblical narrative calls for a balanced view, where wealth is neither idolized nor despised, but used wisely and compassionately in service to God and others.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

(<I>n.</I>) Large possessions; a comparative abundance of things which are objects of human desire; esp., abundance of worldly estate; affluence; opulence; riches.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">WEALTH, WEALTHY</span><p>welth, wel'-thi (hon, chayil, nekhacim; euporia, "to possess riches," "to be in a position of ease" (<a href="/jeremiah/49-31.htm">Jeremiah 49:31</a>)): The possession of wealth is not regarded as sinful, but, on the contrary, was looked upon as a sign of the blessing of God (<a href="/ecclesiastes/5-19.htm">Ecclesiastes 5:19</a>; <a href="/ecclesiastes/6-2.htm">Ecclesiastes 6:2</a>). The doctrine of "blessed are the poor, and cursed are the rich" finds no countenance in the Scriptures, for <a href="/luke/6-20.htm">Luke 6:20, 24</a> refers to concrete conditions (disciples and persecutors; note the "ye"). God is the maker of rich and poor alike (<a href="/proverbs/22-2.htm">Proverbs 22:2</a>). But while it is not sinful to be rich it is very dangerous, and certainly perilous to one's salvation (<a href="/matthew/19-23.htm">Matthew 19:23</a>). Of this fact the rich young ruler is a striking example (<a href="/luke/18-22.htm">Luke 18:22, 23</a>). It is because of the danger of losing the soul through the possession of wealth that so many exhortations are found in the Scriptures aimed especially at those who have an abundance of this world's goods (<a href="/1_timothy/6-17.htm">1 Timothy 6:17</a> <a href="/james/1-10.htm">James 1:10, 11</a>; <a href="/james/5-1.htm">James 5:1</a>, etc.). Certain parables are especially worthy of note in this same connection, e.g. the Rich Fool (<a href="/luke/12-16.htm">Luke 12:16-21</a>), the Rich Man and Lazarus-if such can be called a parable-(<a href="/luke/16-19.htm">Luke 16:19-31</a>). That it is not impossible for men of wealth to be saved, however, is apparent from the narratives, in the Gospels, of such rich men as Nicodemus, and Joseph of Arimathea (<a href="/john/19-38.htm">John 19:38, 39</a> <a href="/matthew/27-57.htm">Matthew 27:57-60</a>), and Zaccheus (<a href="/luke/19-1.htm">Luke 19:1-10</a>). It may fairly be inferred from the Gospel records that James and John, who were disciples of our Lord, were men of considerable means (<a href="/mark/1-19.htm">Mark 1:19, 20</a> <a href="/john/19-27.htm">John 19:27</a>).<br><br>Wealth may be the result of industry (<a href="/proverbs/10-4.htm">Proverbs 10:4</a>), or the result of the special blessing of God (<a href="/2_chronicles/1-11.htm">2 Chronicles 1:11, 12</a>). We are warned to be careful lest at any time we should say "My power and the might of my hand hath gotten me this wealth. But thou shalt remember Yahweh thy God, for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth" (<a href="/deuteronomy/8-17.htm">Deuteronomy 8:17, 18</a>).<br><br>Those possessing wealth are liable to certain kinds of sins against which they are frequently warned, e.g., highmindedness (<a href="/1_timothy/6-17.htm">1 Timothy 6:17</a>); oppression of the poor (<a href="/james/2-6.htm">James 2:6</a>); selfishness (Luke 12 and 16); dishonesty (<a href="/luke/19-1.htm">Luke 19:1-10</a>); self-conceit (<a href="/proverbs/28-11.htm">Proverbs 28:11</a>); self-trust (<a href="/proverbs/18-11.htm">Proverbs 18:11</a>).<br><br>It is of interest to note that in the five places in the New Testament in which the word "lucre"-as applying to wealth-is used, it is prefaced by the word "filthy" (<a href="/1_timothy/3-3.htm">1 Timothy 3:3</a> (the King James Version), 8; <a href="/titus/1-7.htm">Titus 1:7, 11</a> <a href="/1_peter/5-2.htm">1 Peter 5:2</a>), and that in four of these five places it refers to the income of ministers of the gospel, as though they were particularly susceptible of being led away by the influences and power of money, and so needed special warning.<br><br>The Scriptures are not without instruction as to how we may use our wealth wisely and as well-pleasing to God. The parable of the Unjust Steward (<a href="/nasb/luke/16.htm">Luke 16</a>) exhorts us to "make.... friends by means of the mammon of unrighteousness," by which is meant that we should use the wealth which God has committed to us as stewards in order that we may win friends (souls) with it for Him and His kingdom, just as the unfaithful steward used the goods with which his master had entrusted him to make friends for himself. The parable of Dives and Lazarus gives us the sad picture of a selfish rich man who had abused his trust, who had failed to make friends with his money, and who, in the other world, would have given anything just for such a friend (<a href="/luke/16-19.htm">Luke 16:19-31</a>).<br><br>See also <a href="../r/riches.htm">RICHES</a>.<br><br>William Evans<p><a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/4149.htm"><span class="l">4149. ploutos -- <b>wealth</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> <b>wealth</b>.
