Heaven’s Riches vs Hell’s Trinkets [podcast]


“Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” Colossians 2:2-3

The once “rich man” who is now in hell irrevocably, vainly imagined that his “future was secure” based on his fleeting temporal “wealth” in this passing world (Luke 16:19-31). Delusional. Anyone not born again and presently abiding Christ, on His plainly stated terms (Bible), is as sure for the flames of eternal damnation as if he were already there – and there is no escape. Read Psalm 49.

Jesus Instructed us to Lay Up Treasures in Heaven

Matthew 6

19  Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 
20  But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 
21  For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 
22  The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 
23  But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! 
24  No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 

Christ’s ministers have answered HIS call, not their own (Matthew 10:1-8; 1 Peter 5:1-6). They lay down their lives daily to do His will – to feed His sheep, the highest calling on earth (Matthew 28:18-20; John 21:15-17). And by doing so they are laying up their treasures in Heaven, not on the earth (Matthew 6:19-24). This bless-ed answer to the call of our God gives each of us the bless-ed opportunity to do the same, by supporting them, by supporting the work of our Master in the lives of His people (1 Corinthians 3:6-9; 2 Corinthians 9:6-11). | Support

Are you spending your time, your life training for and doing what carries eternal value? Or are you pursuing the temporal trinkets of this fleeting world?

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.” 1 John 2:15-17
