How Can We Save Treasures in Heaven?

Matthew 6:19-21

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and decay destroy, and thieves break in and steal.

But store up treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroys, nor thieves break in and steal.

For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.

How do we do this? How can we save for the Kingdom of GOD?

Luke 19:11-27

The Parable of the Ten Gold Coins.

While they were listening to him speak, he proceeded to tell a parable because he was near Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God would appear there immediately.

So he said, “A nobleman went off to a distant country to obtain the kingship for himself and then to return.

He called ten of his servants and gave them ten gold coins and told them, ‘Engage in trade with these until I return.’

His fellow citizens, however, despised him and sent a delegation after him to announce, ‘We do not want this man to be our king.’

But when he returned after obtaining the kingship, he had the servants called, to whom he had given the money, to learn what they had gained by trading.

The first came forward and said, ‘Sir, your gold coin has earned ten additional ones.’

He replied, ‘Well done, good servant! You have been faithful in this very small matter; take charge of ten cities.’

Then the second came and reported, ‘Your gold coin, sir, has earned five more.’

And to this servant too he said, ‘You, take charge of five cities.’

Then the other servant came and said, ‘Sir, here is your gold coin; I kept it stored away in a handkerchief,

for I was afraid of you, because you are a demanding person; you take up what you did not lay down and you harvest what you did not plant.’

He said to him, ‘With your own words I shall condemn you, you wicked servant. You knew I was a demanding person, taking up what I did not lay down and harvesting what I did not plant;

why did you not put my money in a bank? Then on my return I would have collected it with interest.’

And to those standing by he said, ‘Take the gold coin from him and give it to the servant who has ten.’

But they said to him, ‘Sir, he has ten gold coins.’

‘I tell you, to everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

Now as for those enemies of mine who did not want me as their king, bring them here and slay them before me.’”

The gold coin represents all the gifts, graces, talents or skills and all temporal things in this world that our FATHER are lending us for all of our souls' needs, but most specially the lives, our souls itself which came directly from Him.

The gold symbolizes perfection --our souls' original forms, their perfection in holiness and total obedience to our FATHER and all of His Will.

Mark 12:14-17

They came and said to him, “Teacher, we know that you are a truthful man and that you are not concerned with anyone’s opinion. You do not regard a person’s status but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not? Should we pay or should we not pay?”

Knowing their hypocrisy he said to them, “Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius to look at.”

They brought one to him and he said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” They replied to him, “Caesar’s.”

So Jesus said to them, “Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.” They were utterly amazed at him.

We need to repay to GOD what belongs to GOD, the gold coin that has His Image remaining or restored in it for we are created in His image, after His likeness, our souls which came from Him. The gold should not be tarnished, nor GOD's Image be replaced with that of Caesar's or of our own, of any creation.

Genesis 1:26a, 27

Then God said: Let us make human beings in our image, after our likeness.

God created mankind in his image;

in the image of God he created them;

male and female he created them.

When JESUS comes again, He will ask of us not just for the gold coin [our souls purged and perfected to its original form], but also of its interest.

Our FATHER Wills and Plans for JESUS to be able to continue His Works, His Mission by His HOLY SPIRIT within and through us [as His Possessed Body] to proclaim about all of His Truth and His Will for His Perfect Dominion over all of us His Kingdom on earth as in heaven, for us to be used as JESUS' vessels, His instruments to earn and gather other perfected souls together with our own, united as His One Body.

As in JESUS' commands and instructions to be done upon and through us by His HOLY SPIRIT within, in His Name...

Matthew 16:24, 19:29

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.

For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? Or what can one give in exchange for his life?

For the Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father’s glory, and then he will repay everyone according to his conduct.

And everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands for the sake of my name will receive a hundred times more, and will inherit eternal life.

Romans 14:7-12

None of us lives for oneself, and no one dies for oneself.

For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord; so then, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.

For this is why Christ died and came to life, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

Why then do you judge your brother? Or you, why do you look down on your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God;

for it is written:

“As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bend before me,

and every tongue shall give praise to God.”

So [then] each of us shall give an account of himself [to God].

Matthew 28:18-20

Then Jesus approached and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit,

teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”

John 14:1-4, 6b

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me.

In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be.

Where [I] am going you know the way.”

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Matthew 25:31-46

“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious throne,

and all the nations will be assembled before him. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me,

naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.’

Then the righteous will answer him and say, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?

When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?

When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?’

And the king will say to them in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.’

Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink,

a stranger and you gave me no welcome, naked and you gave me no clothing, ill and in prison, and you did not care for me.’

Then they will answer and say, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison, and not minister to your needs?’

He will answer them, ‘Amen, I say to you, what you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for me.’

And these will go off to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

Colossians 3:17

And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Revelation 22:12-15

“Behold, I am coming soon. I bring with me the recompense I will give to each according to his deeds.

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”

Blessed are they who wash their robes so as to have the right to the tree of life and enter the city through its gates.

Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the unchaste, the murderers, the idol-worshipers, and all who love and practice deceit.

Continuing JESUS works within and through us on earth in accordance with His Designation of each of us.

1 Corinthians 12:28

Some people God has designated in the church to be, first, apostles; second, prophets; third, teachers; then, mighty deeds; then, gifts of healing, assistance, administration, and varieties of tongues.

By our HOLY SPIRIT's Manifestations of His Gifts and Graces from within, using all that are being lent to us for all of these and for all that our FATHER and JESUS wills, plans and commands us,

1 Corinthians 12:8-10

To one is given through the Spirit the expression of wisdom; to another the expression of knowledge according to the same Spirit;

to another faith by the same Spirit; to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit;

to another mighty deeds; to another prophecy; to another discernment of spirits; to another varieties of tongues; to another interpretation of tongues.

While living by all His Virtues.

Proverbs 6:16-19

WHAT THE LORD REJECTS

There are six things the LORD hates,

yes, seven are an abomination to him;

Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,

hands that shed innocent blood,

A heart that plots wicked schemes,

feet that are quick to run to evil,

The false witness who utters lies,

and the one who sows discord among kindred.

Galatians 5:19-23

Now the works of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, licentiousness,

idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness, dissensions, factions, occasions of envy, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

Now that these are clear and we all know, come let us join together. Our Only Head and Master JESUS wills to work through us in unity as His One Body, glorifying GOD our FATHER through Him, as He Wills and Plans for us, by His HOLY SPIRIT within, only and all in JESUS' Name.
