       Back in Matthew 6, Jesus had talked about where we should invest our wealth. He said, ”Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:19-21, ESV). Things we have here on earth are only temporary things. As the Apostle Paul told Timothy, “We brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world” (1 Timothy 6:7; see also Ecclesiastes 5:15, 16). However, we can invest now in the next life. We have a 401k, per se, that is located in the next life. And we invest into it by loving God, being obedient to him, following his Word—and by loving others as we already love ourselves. When we do these things, we are storing up eternal possessions for ourselves that we get to have forever.
