6.From what should our life be free?

From the love of money.

The love of money is one of the great curses on mankind. The love of money is the root of all evil. Of all the gods of the Greeks and Romans, the one heathen god that Jesus mentioned was mammon (money). No many can serve God and mammon. He must choose between them.

People seek security, pleasure, and achievement. These can come from money, or from God. We make the choice. Shall we serve God or shall we serve money? It is impossible to serve both.
