What does the Bible say about earthly and heavenly treasure?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches to lay up treasures in heaven rather than on earth, as earthly treasures are temporary.

Matthew 6:19-20 contrasts earthly treasures, which are subject to decay and theft, with heavenly treasures that are eternal and secure. Jesus emphasizes that our hearts will follow where we store our treasures. Pursuing earthly wealth may lead one away from divine priorities, while valuing heavenly treasures signifies a heart devoted to God and His kingdom. Therefore, Christians are urged to focus on righteousness and spiritual growth rather than materialistic pursuits.
