Why is it important for Christians to seek eternal riches?

In Luke 16:11-12, Jesus advises, 'If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?' This illustrates that our faithfulness in handling God-given resources reflects our readiness to receive spiritual blessings. Eternal riches, which are rooted in the gospel and grace of God, are those that truly satisfy and sustain in eternity. While earthly possessions may provide temporary comfort, they are ultimately fleeting, reminding us to invest in what has eternal significance. In Christ, we inherit true spiritual wealth that cannot fade or perish.
