How do we know that laying up treasure in heaven is important?

Answered in 1 source

Laying up treasure in heaven is vital as it reflects true wisdom and investment in eternal value rather than temporary earthly gain.

The importance of laying up treasure in heaven is underscored in Luke 12:20, where Jesus tells of the folly of a man who hoards earthly wealth only to face death. The parable illustrates the stark reality that earthly possessions are fleeting and ultimately meaningless compared to spiritual riches. True wealth, according to Scripture, is being rich towards God, which involves faith, grace, and good works. As stated in Revelation 3:18, believers are encouraged to buy from Christ gold refined in the fire, symbolizing true spiritual wealth. This eternal treasure is incorruptible and secure, providing assurance that it cannot be taken away by death or circumstance, unlike earthly treasures.
