Jesus said these words, "8 This people draweth nigh unto Me with their mouth, and honoureth Me with their lips; but their heart is far from Me. 9 But in vain they do worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." Matthew 15:8-9

Question? How do you know that Jesus has your heart? Many follow Jesus for the fishes and the 5 loaves.

"From the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks" If one is among Christians and the subjects are mainly worldly affairs, then the things of God are in the back seat or a corner. Your greatest interests then are not spiritual but secular.

King James Version Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

We know a tree by the fruit it bears, then we must examine our own fruit. The quickest manner to make the determination.

It is easy to check up on "earthly treasures," by looking at a financial statement. What kind of "treasures" is the Lord speaking of that the Child of God is to lay up in Heaven? And how do we do what the scripture is asking us to do in verse #20?

Please explain verse #21?

I believe that God is talking about the deeds someone does that they will accumulate eventually at the judgement seat of Christ. Like giving to the poor, and praying for people and evangelising, etc. There are the things we want in this life and there are other things that God wants for us to do for his glory and namesake. look at spiritual and natural things and you will be able to understand what the heavenly treasures are.
