TREASURES AND WEALTH

God said to him, "You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you; and the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?" (Luke 12:20)
They trust in their wealth; the abundance of their riches is their boast. Yet in no way can a man redeem himself, or pay his own ransom to God; too high is the price to redeem one’s life; he would never have enough to remain alive always and not see destruction. For he can see that wise men die, and likewise the senseless and the stupid pass away, leaving to others their wealth. (Psalm 49:7-11)
Thus will it be for the one who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich in what matters to God.” (Luke 12:21)
