One error that a lot of people make is repeating the phrase, “money is the root of all evil.” Well that’s not exactly right. It’s the “love of money” that is the root of all evil.
1 Timothy 6:10, “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”
Money is a tool given to mankind by God to use for the glory of God. But because of man’s fallen nature, he finds things to love and worship instead of the God who made creation.
