The religious view of Christians regarding wealth and possession is quite in alliance with the views that other religions have regarding the same. God gives us wealth and possession as a temptation to find out if we succumb to them and forget the way that leads us to them. It is through these temptations that we are tested by God. Our wealth and possessions are nothing if compared to god’s blessings. However we often tend to forget this while living amidst earthly pleasures.
