If this was a morally neutral world, we would expect money to be used in a morally neutral way. But the world is not neutral - it is sinful and under a curse. This is the problem with money.
Although there's nothing inherently wrong with money, there's something desperately wrong with devotion to money --
But people who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows. - 1 Timothy 6:9-10Since money can be used for either good or evil, if those using it are more evil than good it will most often be used for evil. The problem is human sinfulness - and so it will be until Christ returns and we live on the new earth, where there will be no more curse and no more evil.
Why do people work?
