APRIL 2, 2022 BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY SATURDAY

VERSE OF THE DAY: No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. – Matthew 6:24, NIV

OTHER BIBLE VERSIONS…

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. – KJV

“You cannot serve two masters: God and money. For you will hate one and love the other, or else the other way around. TLB

“You can’t worship two gods at once. Loving one god, you’ll end up hating the other. Adoration of one feeds contempt for the other. You can’t worship God and Money both. MSG

“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate[a] the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise[b] the other. You cannot serve God and money. NET

“No one can serve two masters. The person will hate one master and love the other, or will follow one master and refuse to follow the other. You cannot serve both God and worldly riches. NCV

“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and [a]mammon. NKJV

When materialism and a love of money takes hold of a life, that person’s desire for money will eventually take precedence over ones love for God. When a believer’s wealth starts to become a fixation in his life, he will become increasingly devoted to it, which leads to an increasing contempt for God. No one can be slave to two masters – one of the two will eventually become the dominate desire, while the other will lose its attraction and be treated with distain.

When God and mammon become rivals, one or other will inevitably be rejected. When the heart of a man is set on money; the accumulation of worldly wealth and an obsession with temporal things – then God is excluded from that life.. for no one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. Many have tried to serve both, but all fail in the end.

We cannot serve God and wealth simultaneously. We cannot be devoted to mammon and devoted to Christ at the same time, and as believes we have to make a choice – either we allow ourselves to be enslaved by greed.. and shackled to a materialistic mind-set OR we choose to be set free to the spirit of God in Christ Jesus.
