"Don't lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don't break through and steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew 6:19-21 WEB)
"No
one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the
other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You
can't serve both God and Mammon.

Therefore,
I tell you, don't be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what
you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn't life
more than food, and the body more than clothing? See
the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they reap, nor
gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much
more value than they? "Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan? Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don't toil, neither do they spin, yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these. But
if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and
tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won't he much more clothe you, you of
little faith? "Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
Therefore don't be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient. (Matthew 6:24-34 WEB)
"Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened. Or who is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent? If
you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how
much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those
who ask him! (Matthew 7:7-11 WEB)
"Enter
in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that
leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it. How narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it. (Matthew 7:13-14 WEB)
Not
everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of
Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many
will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name,
in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?' Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.'
"Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock. The
rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that
house; and it didn't fall, for it was founded on the rock. Everyone who hears these words of mine, and doesn't do them will be like a foolish man, who built his house on the sand. The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell--and great was its fall."
