This is one I read after checking the Bible, the call one man received but, the Apostles, risked themselves following the Lord Jesus (Luk_9:23).
Mar 10:20 The man answered, "Teacher, I have obeyed all these commandments since I was a young man."
Mar 10:21 Jesus looked closely at the man. He liked him and said, "There's one thing you still need to do. Go sell everything you own. Give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven. Then come with me."
Mar 10:22 When the man heard Jesus say this, he went away gloomy and sad because he was very rich.

There is nothing wrong with having wealth, but it is a choice what one does with that wealth.
For instance the scriptures show it to be true that if you are only using that wealth for self while leaving others to starve, be homeless, and suffer then you are living and serving a sinful lifestyle that does not lead to eternal life.
Money does not condemn a person, it is their motives on what they do with the money that will or not condemn them !!!

Jas 2:5 My dear friends, pay attention. God has given a lot of faith to the poor people in this world. He has also promised them a share in his kingdom that he will give to everyone who loves him.
Jas 2:15 If you know someone who doesn't have any clothes or food,
Jas 2:16 you shouldn't just say, "I hope all goes well for you. I hope you will be warm and have plenty to eat." What good is it to say this, unless you do something to help?
Jas 2:17 Faith that doesn't lead us to do good deeds is all alone and dead!
