Heavenly Treasures

[Swamp_Yankee]

Hey y’all , quick question. Jesus, in a discourse minimizing materialism told us to " store up " our " treasures in Heaven". What did He mean by that? I’ m guessing He meant spiritual treasures like good works, acts of charity, repentance . Am I on the right track?

Yep. Except that we have to be careful not to say that it’s capital that we can use to buy our way into heaven; earning it by good works and such.

From Scripture we get the idea that we will be rewarded differently in heaven, and it’s not hard to imagine that Mother Theresa will be rewarded greater than a sap like yours truly.

And more than this miserable sinner too

Anyways, I kinda like Dante’s version, with 9 spheres, each one further out for a more sanctified soul.
