Treasure In Heaven

What the treasure in heaven will be?! We say we should put our treasure in heaven. Are they the crowns we try to earn to present them to God later? In The New Jerusalem, pure gold and precious stones are everywhere. We won’t need personal treasure in heaven, will we?

Q. What the treasure in heaven will be?! We say we should put our treasure in heaven. Are they the crowns we try to earn to present them to God later? In The New Jerusalem, pure gold and precious stones are everywhere. We won’t need personal treasure in heaven, will we?

A. Jesus didn’t describe the treasure we’ll receive in heaven, but I don’t think it’s a big bank account. He only said that we should focus our lives here on storing it up there, for where our treasure is, our heart will be also.

While it has something to do with how we use our money here, my guess is that it’s a spiritual thing there, something of a much more enduring value than money or material possessions. Like He said, material things rust and rot, but treasure in Heaven doesn’t. (Matt. 6:20-21)

And have you ever met anyone who thought he had enough money? Even those who have more than they can spend always want more. These are not characteristics we associate with treasure in Heaven.
