Why should Christians prioritize heavenly treasures?

Christians are called to prioritize heavenly treasures as a reflection of their faith in Jesus Christ. In Matthew 6:19-21, we're warned against the futility of amassing earthly goods that are subject to decay and loss. Instead, focusing on the eternal—such as a relationship with Christ—ensures that our investments yield lasting joy and fulfillment. The treasures we lay up in heaven offer spiritual rewards and peace that transcends circumstances. As believers engage in acts of faith, service, and obedience, they grow in their relationship with Christ, experiencing the richness of His promises and securing eternal blessings (Ephesians 1:4-5).
