How do we know Christ is our treasure?

Answered in 4 sources

Christ is our treasure when we recognize Him as our sole possession and ultimate hope in life, surpassing all earthly aspirations.

To know that Christ is our treasure, we must first understand what it means to possess Him. In 1 Corinthians 1:26-31, Paul explains that God has chosen the foolish and lowly to confound the wise, emphasizing human nothingness and reliance on Christ alone. Only when we are stripped of our own merits and recognize our total dependence on Him can we truly say that Christ is all we have and need. This is affirmed in Colossians 2:3, which proclaims that in Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Therefore, the treasure we possess is not merely earthly wealth or status, but the profound relationship and righteousness we have in Christ, who sustains and justifies us before God.
