#69 - Treasure In Heaven - Matt. 19:16-22 - Matthew Study Week 8 - a podcast by Fig Tree Ministries

In the first century,"store up treasure in heaven"was a common phrase used as an idiom for charity.

In this week's lesson, we explore the background of this phrase as it is developed from the Old Testament - through the Apocryphal writings of the intertestamental period - and into the New Testament.When you give to those in need, you store up treasures in heaven, and God becomes the guarantor of your loan.
