Jesus knew that many people are tempted to lay up treasures on earth.
In 1973 a businessman named Howard Dayton began doing a study in the Bible and he categorized all of the Scriptures that talk about money and possessions.
Howard found that there were 2350 verses in the Bible about money and our use of it.
We live in a society where we all use money. Money was even used in Jesus's day.
It is good for us all here to be mindful of money and working for it. All of us here should have a theology of work and an understanding of the wise use of money.
Adam and Eve were placed in the Garden of Eden to work and worship.
Adam and Eve prior to sin entering this world were created by God to work.
I believe we should make wise investments here on earth and for Heaven!
The Bible shows us people that were wise investors on earth. Abraham was a wise investor, Gen 13:2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
Job was a wise investor and he was faithful to God both in prosperity and adversity.
According to Jesus… it is possible to lay-up treasures in Heaven! There is a difference between earthly treasures and Heavenly Treasures.
Earthly Treasures are corruptible and Heavenly Treasures are incorruptible.
If you go through the whole Bible you will find that God uses everyday people with everyday talents in everyday circumstances for His glory.
God uses both rich and poor people and healthy and sick people for His glory.
