Is it ethical to purchase luxury items ever?

The Bible does not prohibit owning expensive or beautiful items, as many godly figures enjoyed wealth (e.g., Abraham, Solomon). However, the ethicality of purchasing luxury items hinges on the motive of the heart and the impact on stewardship. Luxury becomes unethical when it demonstrates idolatry (loving the item more than God), pride (boasting in wealth), or selfishness (indulging self while ignoring the poor) (1 Timothy 6:9-10). A purchase is ethically sound only if it is made with generous financial stewardship and does not compromise one's commitment to giving, caring for family, or maintaining humility.
