Matthew 6:21 — “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Money has value, but it is never meant to define value. Scripture reminds us that what captures the heart ultimately controls the life. Wealth can provide options, comfort, and security for a moment, but it cannot anchor the soul. When Jesus becomes the treasure of the heart, life gains a stability that money can never offer. Earthly riches fluctuate, but Christ remains constant—making the heart wealthy even when the hands are empty.
The danger is not having money, but trusting it. Jesus warned in Luke 12:15 that life does not consist in the abundance of possessions. The rich fool stored wealth but neglected his soul, discovering too late that prosperity without God is poverty in disguise. When Christ dwells in the heart, priorities are reordered: money becomes a tool, not a master. The heart learns contentment, and success is measured not by accumulation, but by alignment with God’s will.
Ultimately, Jesus in the heart produces a richness money cannot imitate—peace in trials, purpose in labor, and hope beyond death. Paul declared that he had learned to be content in plenty and in want because Christ strengthened him (Phil. 4:11–13). A pocket full of money may impress people, but a heart full of Christ transforms lives. True wealth is not what you carry—it is who carries you.
