SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:21
Porque donde estuviere vuestro tesoro, allí estar vuestro corazn.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 6:21
Verse 21. Where your treasure is] If God be the treasure of our souls, our hearts, i.e. our affections and desires will be placed on things above. An earthly minded man proves that his treasure is below; a heavenly minded man shows that his treasure is above.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 21. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also .] This seems to be a proverbial expression, and contains in it another reason, dissuading from worldly mindedness; because of the danger the heart is in of being ensnared and ruined thereby: and the sense of it is, if your treasure is on earth, and lies in earthly things, your hearts will be set upon them, and be in them, in your bags, your coffers and storehouses; and so your souls will be in danger of being lost; which loss will be an irreparable one, though you should gain the whole world. But if your treasure is put into the hands of God, your hearts will be with him, and be settled on him; your desires will be after heavenly things; your affections will be set on things above; your conversation will be in heaven, whilst you are on earth; and that will be the place and seat of your happiness, to all eternity.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 19-24 - Worldly-mindedness is a common and fatal symptom of hypocrisy, for by no sin can Satan have a surer and faster hold of the soul, under the cloak of a profession of religion. Something the soul will have, whic it looks upon as the best thing; in which it has pleasure an confidence above other things. Christ counsels to make our best thing the joys and glories of the other world, those things not seen whic are eternal, and to place our happiness in them. There are treasures in heaven. It is our wisdom to give all diligence to make our title to eternal life sure through Jesus Christ, and to look on all things her below, as not worthy to be compared with it, and to be content with nothing short of it. It is happiness above and beyond the changes an chances of time, an inheritance incorruptible. The worldly man is wron in his first principle; therefore all his reasonings and action therefrom must be wrong. It is equally to be applied to false religion that which is deemed light is thick darkness. This is an awful, but common case; we should therefore carefully examine our leadin principles by the word of God, with earnest prayer for the teaching of his Spirit. A man may do some service to two masters, but he can devot himself to the service of no more than one. God requires the whol heart, and will not share it with the world. When two masters oppos each other, no man can serve both. He who holds to the world and love it, must despise God; he who loves God, must give up the friendship of the world.
