treasures in heaven
Imperishable spiritual wealth
Treasures in heaven is a phrase from Jesus's teaching in the Sermon on the Mount, contrasting spiritual investments with material wealth.
Where earthly treasures can be stolen or decay, heavenly treasures—acts of generosity, faith, righteousness—endure eternally.
The phrase often appears in discussions of priorities and sacrifice: She gave up a lucrative career, storing up treasures in heaven instead.
