Question: What is the meaning of:

'Do not store up treasures for yourselves on earth, where moth and woodworm destroy them and thieves can break in and steal.  But store up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where neither moth nor woodworm destroys them and thieves cannot break in and steal. For wherever your treasure is, there will your heart be too.”

God’s answer:

Do not be materialistic.

Why? Because this does not do us any good in the long run.

“We brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it;”

1 Timothy 6:7

God’s statement:

You think that eternal life begins when you die. You are already living your eternal life.

Therefore, be concerned about things that will last forever not those that only last for a short while.

The meaning of the last line: For wherever your treasure is, there will your heart be too. heart be too.

'No one can be the slave of two masters: he will either hate the first and love the second, or be attached to the first and despise the second. You cannot be the slave both of God and of money. (Matthew 6:24)

Here is a song the God gave as to how he would like us to live our eternal life.

"What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?"
(originally by Michel Legrand)20

What are you doing the rest of your life?
North and South and East and West of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me

All the seasons and the times of your days
All the nickels and the dimes of your days
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days
All begin and end with me

I want to see your face in every kind of light
In the fields of dawn and the forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make

Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love that you keep in your eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two

Through all of my life
Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall of my life
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you
