Scriptures : Matthew 6:19-21
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
For where your treasure is there your heart will be also.
Storing your treasures on earth, therefore, leads to eternal loss. Real wealth is obtain by investing treasures in heaven. The way to lay up treasures in heaven is to develop Christ-like character. A character which is enhanced by actively spending time in personal devotions, prayer and bible study so that we can increase in faith, hope and charity.
We also lay up treasures in heaven when we actively work towards the salvation of others. The Bible mentions rewards await for those who serve the Lord faithfully. It encourages servants that God has an eternal reward for those who serve HIM heartily.
