Lesson 25 of 77
The Most Precious Treasure
{See Lesson 27}
By Lawrence DeMetrius

Apostle Paul writes,

But it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love HIM.
[I Cor 2:9]

Yahweh is to them who truly love HIM, the PRIMARY and MOST PRECIOUS TREASURE of their heart. HE is the TREASURE that can never be stolen from them or destroyed. The Lord Jesus said,

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth; where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
[Mt 6:19-21]

Yahweh is the TREASURE that is more valuable than all the wealth building assets one can own during their mortal lifetime. True worshipers of God understand how foolish it is to forfeit devotion to HIM for devotion to anyone or anything else. The Lord Jesus said,

If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it.
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
[Mt 16:24-26]

Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
[Lk 12:15]
Apostle Paul writes,

But godliness with contentment is great gain.
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
[I Tim 6:6-10]

Faith in Christ the Word and the Spirit of Wisdom Who, is the Holy Ghost is the only Means by which one can receive Yahweh as their everlasting TREASURE and SOURCE of durable riches. King Solomon writes,

Receive My instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
for wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
Riches and honour are with Me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and My revenue than choice silver.
I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
that I may cause THOSE that love Me to inherit substance; and I WILL fill THEIR treasures.
[Pro 8:10, 11, 18-21]

The Lord Jesus said,

I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by Me.
[Jn 14:6]

Apostle Paul writes,

Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
By Whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
[Rm 5:1, 2]
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith OF Jesus Christ, even we have believed IN Jesus Christ, that we might be justified BY the faith OF Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live BY the faith OF the Son of God, Who loved me, and gave Himself for me.
[Gal 2:16, 20]

During The Dispensation of Grace, Yahweh is available to become the TREASURE of all who desire to worship HIM through faith filled obedience to Christ the Word. Moses writes that which is applicable to all who worship Yahweh,

After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
[Gen 15:1]

Apostle Paul writes,

And all things are of God, WHO hath reconciled us to HIMSELF by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto HIMSELF, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
[II Cor 5:18, 19]

Apostle John writes,

And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know HIM that is true, and we are in HIM that true, even in HIS Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
[I Jn 5:20]

Let every child of earth be admonished to make themselves rich with Yahweh as HE is The Most Precious Treasure of all.
