For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. (Luke 12:34 ESV). This teaching of Jesus tells us that whatever we value in our earthly existence determines where we spend eternity.
C. S. Lewis puts it slightly differently when he observes quite accurately that for a lot of people heaven will be “an acquired taste”. [1]. In other words, their actions on this earth are so contrary to what Jesus taught us that if they do make it to heaven, it will take some time for them to adjust to how things are done in heaven.
