Treasure In Heaven

Q. I love your web site and visit regularly. Any idea what we would use treasure for in heaven? I know we can store it up,but I wonder why we would need it.

A. It’s not clear why we’ll need it, or even that it’s actual treasure.  We apparently acquire our treasure through acts of kindness toward the less fortunate, demonstrating the Lord’s love for them by what we do.   Paul may have been alluding to this when he compared our works here to gold, silver and precious gems. (1 Cor. 3:10-15) It seems likely from other references that we won’t need any money so the Lord must have been speaking allegorically, saying that our spontaneous acts of love have great value to Him and will be rewarded in Heaven.
