Riches can be sent to heaven in


38/64

Riches can be sent to heaven inadvance

Christ points out the way in which those whohave worldly riches and yet are not rich toward

God may secure the true riches. He says: Sellthat ye have, and give alms, and lay up treasurein heaven. The remedy He proposes for thewealthy is a transfer of their affections fromearthly riches to the eternal inheritance. ...

By investing their means in the cause of God to

aid in the salvation of souls, and by blessing theneedy with their means, they become rich in goodworks and are "laying up in store for themselves agood foundation against the time to come, that

they may lay hold on eternal life." ...



40/64


This will prove a safe investment. But manyshow by their works that they dare not trust in the

bank of heaven. They choose to trust their meansin the earth rather than send it before them toheaven, that their hearts may be upon theirheavenly treasure. {2T 681.2}

Chap 79. Transferring Earthly Treasure

1Ti 6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world,that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertainriches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly

all things to enjoy;1Ti 6:18 That they do good, that they be rich ingood works, ready to distribute, willing tocommunicate;

1Ti 6:19 Laying up in store for themselves a goodfoundation against the time to come, that theymay lay hold on eternal life.
