The Meaning of Mammon in the Bible

What does mammon mean in the Bible?

Jesus said:

"No servant can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon" (Mt 6:24; Lk 16:13).

Mammon is a word meaning "money" or "material wealth." It is sometimes explained as a transliteration of the Aramaic or Hebrew word meaning "that in which one trusts."

The point Jesus makes is that we must be careful not to place our trust in money or material wealth over God. If we are not careful, we will become a slave to mammon. We can let our endless desire to accumulate enough money consume us with worry and doubt.

Or we can turn to God and place our trust in him instead. When we place are trust in God, we are set free. When we put our trust in money, we are enslaved by worry because material wealth can so easily be lost or taken away.

Put your trust in God and you will be set free. Put your trust in money and material goods, and you will become a slave to them.

Thanks for this video, my husband had this conviction a few days before. It’s crazy how we can be so deceived and blinded by this, I’ve been living over 8 years with Jesus now and I have not noticed that I was serving mammon the whole time, it’s crazy how dependent I’ve become from owning things and money or being in fear and worry when I didn’t had or have the security money makes us feel. Like being able to pay all the bills and just be in control of things all the time, when God tells us that He is a provider, that we should not worry about anything because He already knows what we need. It’s crazy to me because we can ignore God and become inpatient and try to fix everything with our own hands and yea in the end we dig a hole and fall into it. I’m currently 9 months pregnant, my job ended now I’m worried somehow how will I be able to make money for my boy but God tells and conforms me saying that He will meet all my needs and I should not worry. It’s time for me to let go of the control and let God be God!

That explanation was so clear and just what I needed at this time, thank you!

[d.a.s.h.ministries]

Thanks for the teaching!
Many People can’t receive this teaching, I can tell by the comments
Thanks for teaching in context!

[lolittabares]

THANKS, I APPRECIATE THE EXPLANATION. I am so ENLIGHTENED. THANK YOU GOD, I WILL DEFINITELY CHOOSE GOD🙏🏿😇❤

[bhageerah]

Thank you for the teaching. With what’s coming a minister said that mammon is going to consume many in the church. Even though I had read the verse many times I never really understood it. With the work God is doing I refuse to serve money, I choose to serve God, what is done for his kingdom will last forever. What happens down here is as a puff of smoke. I will not ruin my eternity for cheap thrills down here.

And yet again I accidentally stumbled into the religion I escaped from

[greenergrass]

I find very eerie how out of all the stuff in the world you cant serve alongside God, Jesus specifically mentioned Money.

[redfritz]

Great explanation! Material things just make me feel like a sitting duck. Like my tenants not paying rent for months. More stuff more trouble.

[hamstermathers]

I am attracted to mammon, I see him daily and I can’t escape him, love the vid btw

[kathleenwalton]

Kind of weird that our dollar bills say in God we trust

[mottieful]

Great teaching...love your ending. ☺️❤👏

[confusedgamermango]

So i am suppose to lose interest in making money to be comfortable? Or am i suppose to just go with it and hope god will provide for me?

if i didnt watch the movie constantine, I wouldn't have even know of mammon.
my mum says I'm a heathen because I don't attend church but I'm fighting my own battles with depression and having a learning disablity.
theres so much i dont understand in the bible, But I will always have faith in god : - )

I am so sorry to those of you here for the actual meaning of the video but I accidentally pressed this video when searching from the mammon from “obey me!” . I just felt like saying that lol

[kvelez]

Thanks for the explanation, what do we do with those who teach that mammon is a demon and all of that superstition and some think that they must know the names of the demons they are fighting to know what to do, etc.
What Bible passages do you recommend to refute those weird beliefs?

[sevenseven]

Glory.faith in Christ is only answer at all mammon.

[ega]

Are our jobs and places where we work considered “mammon”? Thank you for your video 🙌

[perun.m]

Is it love of money if you are dreaming and trying to work for housing and better life for family and dear people? I don't want to worship Mammon I want to earn righteous way.
