Dear truth forum

the Bible reports Jesus said:

“If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.

Expand

[ Treasures in Heaven ] “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Expand

Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.

so why is the treasure in/of heaven apparently something the very opposite of earthly material treasure, in that Jesus recommends to give up or sell your earthly treasure in order to obtain this heavenly treasure?

are Xians kidding themselves in they can keep their earthly treasure plus later receive heavenly treasure via mere faith?
