Treasures in Heaven Matthew 6:20-21
…20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
So Jesus is telling us it is good to seek treasure, but do not be a fool about it and seek treasure that wont last here on earth seek it and store it in heaven where it will last forever.
So just how do we store up treasure in heaven?
Matthew 6:4
Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
Matthew 6-6
But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Mathew 6-17-18
But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
I think one of the main reasons (IMO) we are to do these things in secrete is so we remain humble God tells us many times in the bible that we are to humble and not prideful,
