Wealth and comfort can become spiritual traps if they make us indifferent to those in need. Jesus spoke clearly about this in stories like the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19–31), where the rich man's neglect of the poor led to torment after death, not because wealth is evil, but because he ignored love and justice.
People might object to this, pointing out that God is live. But God’s love for us is shown in Jesus, who not only taught this but lived it — always siding with the poor, the outcast, and the forgotten. His message wasn’t just about belief, but transformation: to love God with all we are, and to love our neighbor as ourselves — especially when it costs us comfort.
