Definition Of Greed - Obsessed With Abundance Over God
Luke 12:15. A key component of the definition of greed is the obsession of accumulating material goods. It is easy to get caught up in materialism at the expense of God. If you are obsessed with obtaining material things, you are out of step with God. God did not create us for the sole purpose of obtaining material goods (Luke 12:15, "And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth"). God does not reward us by the amount of material goods we accumulate during our lifetime. God judges us by our relationship to Jesus Christ, our love of God, and our love of our fellowman.
BIBLE SCRIPTURE: Luke 12:15, "And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth."
