Some would say that, according to the New Testament, The Bible is anti-rich: Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Matthew 19:23-24. Woe to you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. Luke 6:24. Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. James 5:1However, further study of these passages reveals that it was only those who put their wealth ahead of God, who incurred God's wrath. There is nothing wrong with wealth, and indeed, God blesses many with wealth - but when we allow wealth to become more important than God, then it is a problem. This is also seen in the Old Testament, where it says the following:
Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord .... Wealth and riches shall be in his house. Psalm 12:1,3.
In the house of the righteous is much treasure. Proverbs 15:6
