Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal; But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

How do you suppose we do that? Primarily by giving or doing good works?

How do you suppose we do that? Primarily by giving or doing good works? By doing exactly what the apostels did . continually exhorting one another , stirring one another up by the Spirit . Being refreshed in the pages of the bible , the words of Christ , the original pattern . By setting all affections above on Him . A continual feast on the things that be of God . And all else will come .

Are you saying the treasures in heaven come from just living the Biblical lifestyle?

Are you saying the treasures in heaven come from just living the Biblical lifestyle? It is some of everything: Exhorting, giving, evangelizing, discipling, following the teachings of Christ and the Apostles as written in the Bible.

Are you saying the treasures in heaven come from just living the Biblical lifestyle? I am saying , THAT JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF is THE TREASURE . OH YES . All the joy is in HIM , all hope . Imagine a life so filled and fulfilled with all Hope in JESUS , that it don't matter what comes against us . IN fact when even in prison or whipped one can rejoice with such joy for even being counted worthy to suffer shame for Him . That life don't have to be imagined , IT CAN BE LIVED IN JESUS where all hopes are above . Where no matter in the loss of all things , THE JOY of just knowing the LORD has one abounding through all times . ITS REAL . THAT is the TREASURE OF KNOWING CHRIST and knowing HIM in all times . ITS A HOPE that nothing can even begin to compare to . IT IS THE REAL ABUNDANT LIFE that JESUS PROMISED . Only most folks are letting the cares and pleasures in life , CHOKE IT ALL OUT and they shall surely perish too . ITS ALL OUT about CHRIST and KNOWING HIM . HE IS THE TREASURE , HE IS THE RICHES .

I am saying , JESUS IS THE PEARL of great price that if a man finds , FOR JOY HE WILL SELL ALL . There is great profitableness IN godliness WITH contentment . LET IT ALL BE ABOUT just KNOWING HIM . ITS time and HIGH TIME for an entire mindset that is focused entirely on HIM. A life of no anxiety and no worries , BECAUSE our hearts and affections are not on the things of this world , BUT ON HIM ALONE . THERE simply is no hope without him . I tell us all , ITS A JOY FEST UNTO THE LORD . And while no chastening when it occurs feels GOOD , IT SURE WILL WORK the peacable fruits of righteousness unto those who are exercised therein and take it with patience . And here the folks thought I was worried about persecutions . WRONG AGAIN o world , FOR THE LORD works on all who are HIS and anything that comes against us , HE WILL ALWAYS work it for the good of those who ..........drum roll.............LOVE HIM .

Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Luke 12:33,34

It is hard to imagine just what those treasures in heaven will be, but the amount of them will be based on what we do on earth. One way to lay up treasures in heaven is by giving alms, which simply means being charitable and giving to the less fortunate. The things we have down here will decay over time, and they certainly can be stolen, but not so with our treasures in heaven.

TAKE heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

The Lord doesn't just care about us giving, but he cares about why we give and our attitude. He loves a cheerful giver, not one that gives begrudgingly, or to be seen of men.
