How awsome is the God we serve! I have been enjoying some lovely verses about the treasure we have as christians, and the treasures that will be ours for all eternity. How humbling that God would put within our sinful, broken, mortal bodies, the treasure of salvation and His Holy Spirit. I think of that verse in Matthew 5:16 " Let your life so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven". The light of God's love that shines forth from us is a testimony to the world of God's power, and when compared to our vile bodies, our "earthen vessels" stands in stark contrast.


“I will give you the treasures of darkness And hidden wealth of secret places, So that you may know that it is I, The LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name. Isaiah 45:3


But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves. 2 Corinthians 4:7

That their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God’s mystery, that is, Christ Himself, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Collosians 2:2-3

Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you.
2 Timothy 1:14
