treasure in heaven
Imperishable divine reward
Treasure in heaven is a biblical concept referring to spiritual rewards or moral credit earned through righteous living, generosity, and selflessness—as opposed to material wealth accumulated on earth.
The phrase comes from Jesus's teaching to store up treasures in heaven rather than on earth, where moth and rust destroy.
It implies that acts of kindness, charity, and faith have eternal value: She gave away most of her inheritance, trusting she was laying up treasure in heaven.
