Treasure In Heaven

Q. When we say we should store up treasure in heaven, what will that treasure be?  Are they the crowns we try to earn to present them to God later? In The New Jerusalem, pure gold and precious stones are everywhere. We won’t need personal treasure in heaven, will we?

A. Jesus didn’t offer any description of the treasure we’re storing up in heaven, but I don’t think it’s a big bank account, or a vault full of gold and jewels.  He only said that we should focus our lives here on storing it up there, for where our treasure is, our heart will be also.
While it has something to do with how we use our money here, my guess is that it’s a spiritual thing there, something of a much more enduring value than money or material possessions. Like He said, material things rust and rot, but treasure in Heaven doesn’t. (Matt. 6:19-21)
The Bible doesn’t say anything about needing personal wealth in heaven, at least not in the sense we think of it here.  It may be that He was saying we’ll have a much more fulfilling life if we focus on things of eternal significance rather than on just enriching ourselves.
