Wealth itself isn't sinful, but idolizing it is. Abraham, Joseph of Egypt, and Joseph of Arimathea all had riches while staying faithful to God. What matters is whether your heart chases money or the Kingdom first.
Wealth is not wicked until it becomes what you worship. The Lord is not threatened by your abundance or success, but he is grieved when your affection shifts from the giver to the gift. Abraham carried great wealth, yet remained faithful to the covenant. Joseph stewarded Egypt's riches, yet stayed fully surrendered. Joseph of Arimathea was wealthy, but called a disciple of Christ. Poverty is not holiness, and prosperity is not carnality. What matters is the posture of the heart. When you seek first the kingdom, provision flows not for indulgence, but for eternal impact.
