Treasures In Heaven?

[KowboyM]

***What is meant by “treasures in Heaven?” and…what do we do to accumulate them? Are they graces? Indulgences ? Acts?
Also, if one falls into sin, are all those treasures in Heaven lost and have to start over?
Hopefully someone knows these answers?

It could be viewed as the joys of being joined to God and the Church Triumpant in Heaven. The more holy someone is, the more able they will be able to contain the joy of God’s presence in heaven.

As an analogy, if I get to Heaven, perhaps I’ll be an 8 oz. container of the gift of Heaven, where as someone like St. Francis might be likened to a swimming pool.

Hello Kowboy,

Your love is your treasure in heaven. You cannot love without the option to choose not to love. Free from the will of God obedience on earth is your treasure of love for God in heaven. There are no starving people to feed in heaven. There is no way to disobey God’s commandments in heaven and therefore obey God’s commandments out of love for God in heaven. It is here and now in the state of free will that you prepare your treasure of love for God which will last for all eternity.

NAB LUK 12:31

“Instead, seek his kingdom, and these other things will be given you besides. Do not be afraid any longer, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your belongings and give alms. Provide money bags for yourselves that do not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven that no thief can reach nor moth destroy. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.”(TOB 4:7)NIV 1JO 5:3

This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome.NIV JOH 14:15

"If you love me, you will obey what I command."
