Ecclesiastes 7:12. The supernatural knowledge of God is far superior to all the knowledge and resources of man. Studying the accumulative knowledge of man will bring you wisdom, but it is only a worldly wisdom that is of use in this world. This wisdom will not prepare you for spiritual things of life (supernatural things outside your five senses) and for the here-after. Money is much like worldly wisdom. It may provide for your natural needs, but money cannot get you into Heaven. Money is also no assurance of peace and joy in this world.

1 Timothy 6:10. Without God in your life, it is natural to think that if you have more money, you will be more happy. The truth is that many people that have money are unsatisfied. This is because they are denying God, their true source of joy. In their continual denial of God, people will acquire an unquenchable and insatiable desire for money and possessions.

1 Timothy 6:10. The Bible says that the love of money 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"). The Bible focuses on our lust for money as an universal evil because money is where many of us put all our hope for material things. Instead of putting our hope in God for our joy, we put our hope in money for our happiness. This is why the love (lust) for money is so evil.
