The principle of money came from olden times when people would use gold or silver for trade. However, the constant fear of robbers and thieves meant that people needed a safe place to put there gold and silver. To fulfill this need the banking industry was born. People would surrender their goods to a banker who was to be trusted, in exchange for a claim check. Claim checks where soon being used as the new medium in exchange of goods.
The famous American author, Louisa May Alcott once said that, “Money is the root of all evil, and yet it is such a useful root that we cannot get on without it.”

Humans rely on money for a better life as much as they rely on water to live. The world does not necessarily need money.
There are many other different ways of currency. If money did not exist, this earth would have definitely been a better place. Money, the root of all evil, has shaped our world into a corrupt nation, a people without a conscience, and a society of very scrutinizing and greedy human beings.
Money is not the root of injustice. The root of injustice comes out of the wickedness of man and his love for money. It is mans greed and immoral ways that have perverted and uprooted the basic principles for which the idea of money had been originally devised for.
We must all understand that money is something that is not real. Money is a concept that we as a society all agree on. But this wasn’t always the case. Because people never satisfied with money, if people have money, they want some more, until they will adore it and becomes their “God”.
The Holy Bible teaches us that - “love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, in their eagerness to get rich, have wandered away from the faith and caused themselves a lot of pain.”
Money is a necessity but God wants us to take what He has given to us and multiply it. The verses from the Holy Bible on money and prosperity should inspire us that God is on our side. We do not have to be in debt and a slave to our money. He wants to pour out his blessing, and increase and prosper us in every way. God also wants us to share our wealth and be a greater blessing to others.
In the Bible,
Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus Christ our Savior in exchanged for a bribe money. According to the gospels, he led a group of armed men to a garden where Jesus was praying and identified him with a kiss. After a brief scuffle, Jesus was seized and taken to the Jewish religious leaders. They put him through a long interrogation, then turned him over to the Romans and pressured the Roman governor Pontius Pilate into ordering his crucifixion.
The Jewish leaders paid Judas a bribe for his help. Matthew 26:15 says that it was "thirty pieces of silver", possibly referring to a silver coin known as a Tyrian shekel. But Judas didn't get any benefit from the money, because he died shortly after the betrayal. Matthew 27:3-5 says that he felt so much remorse over what he had done that he returned the bribe money and then hanged himself.
Judas was a common name in ancient Palestine, the gospel writers usually added the surname Iscariot to make it clear who they were talking about. John 6:71 calls him "Judas Iscariot the son of Simon." He was put in charge of the disciples' money, keeping it in a special box and making purchases for the group as needed.
John 12:6 says that he sometimes stole money from the box for his personal use. Because of money, human beings are taught to steal, to become traitors just like Judas Iscariot, to become greedy, to become robbers, to become a corrupt employees and public servants, to become a corrupt leader, a corrupt politician among other evil deeds that money can bring.
