It is important for Christians to understand the dangers of laying up treasures for self consumption, because it reveals the true condition of the heart. Jesus taught that those who lay (theo) up treasures for themselves are not rich toward God. It is God that gives all things richly to enjoy, not wealth. Remember it was Jesus who taught that “Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth”.
