In Matthew 6:19-24 Jesus raises an issue of the heart, our money. Just like prayer and fasting help us grow in relationship with God, so does how we use our finances. Jesus teaches that we should invest in eternity today, and that we should do so for several reasons: 1) Heaven offers an imperishable reward; 2) It helps us live the right way now; and 3) It frees us to fully love and serve God. We can invest in eternity by giving our money to God through tithes and offerings, by giving our time to God as the gathered and scattered church, and by sharing the gospel message with others. We are able to give this way because Christ gave it all for us when he left the riches of heaven and came to die on a cross. Invest in your eternity today.
