While money itself is not evil, the Lord warns us today of its powerful and consequential lure. People who desire to be rich, Paul says, fall (1) into temptation, (2) into a snare, and (3) into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. Why? Because “the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.” In fact, Paul even adds that “through this craving [to be rich], some [believers themselves] have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.” God’s warning is not simply that the “love of money” is harmful for us, but that this sin has led some to shipwreck their faith and sink into unbelieving ways.
