Money is fundamentally good and should be used to glorify God. Money also comes with many temptations to sin.
Money is not the root of all evil. Rather, the love of money is the roots of all kinds of evil. Money sets us apart from the animal kingdom. Money is necessary because you can't barter for everything. Sometimes you need the things you have and can't give trade them. Sometimes you don't need another of an item that someone else has. When you trade money for goods then you are able to tell the value of something. Money temporarily holds the value of something you sell so that you can spend that money of something else you need or want.
Haggai 2:8 show us that silver and gold belong to God. He entrusts it to us to use for various reasons. Currency is one of them.
We can become ensnared by the love of money. We cannot serve both God and money for we will hate the one and love the other and vice versa (Matthew 6:24, Matthew 6:19-21).
