If you have to sin to get it, it’s not worth it. If you have to sin to enjoy it, it’s not worth it. If you have to sin to keep it, it’s not worth it. Sin is always too high a price to pay for the treasures of this world. When the troubles of fear, worry, pride, dissatisfaction, envy, strife, deceit, selfishness, fruitlessness or worldliness are attached, it is no real treasure. The fear of the LORD brings its own riches. Riches that are freely given. Riches that will fully satisfy. Riches that cannot be lost. The peace, joy, hope, love, freedom, security, rest, strength, provision and satisfaction of Jesus are better than all worldly gains. He is our treasure to pursue.
