We have been talking about laying up treasures for ourselves in heaven.
We saw that we must be in the kingdom of heaven to lay up treasures in it, we saw how we are added the kingdom of heaven, Acts 2:4
We saw that laying up treasures in heaven is a lifetime job, endure till the end to receive the crown of life, the crown of righteousness. No one can do this for us.
Let’s look at what else the scripture says about this.
Galatians 6:7-8 Paul warned them “be not deceived God is not mocked for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap, for he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap everlasting life.”
If we put up for ourselves only earthy things, then we will also reap, corruptible things, but if we sow to the Spirt, we will reap that. And we discussed earlier that rust nor moths nor thieves can take this away.
2 Corinthians 9:6. “But this I say he who sows sparingly shall reap sparingly; and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.”
Also, we must sow bountifully in order to reap that way.
We must be working for the Lord, till the end. Luke 12:48 says “to him whom much has been given, much will be required.”
We Christians have a job to do, we are to work diligently, we are to use the things God has given us in the service of our King, laying up treasures for ourselves in heaven.
