There are still many verses in the Bible that God the Father in the Old Testament and Jesus Christ is only one (John 10:30), but let me share with you another important thing in life.
Life in this world can be physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually challenging. There are a lot of competitions and pressures, and oftentimes we became so stressed that we forgot what is really important in this life. We become focused on earthly things like fame, wealth and good reputation, but what are the true riches in Christ??
Life on earth is just temporary; we may be here today and gone tomorrow, like the grass which was compared to us (James 1:10-11, I Peter 1:24-25). God told us to store treasures in heaven instead, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal (Matthew 6:19-20). Besides we can’t even carry these earthly things with us when we die. (Psalm 49:17) This is not to say that all income-generating activities or business goals should cease. Everything must be put in proper perspective. It cannot be above the pursuit of God. Do you not know that God greatly rewards those who seek Him and faithfully follow Him? If you put God’s business above yours, He will take care of your business. Always remember what God said that we should seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to us as well (Matthew 6:33).
Now the big question is how do you store treasures in heaven?
For us to store treasure in heaven is to do good to our fellowman. Remember that parable of good Samaritan which is written on Luke 10:30-37? Also please read Matthew 25:34-45. These are examples of storing treasures in heaven and these are the true riches in Christ.

Many verses were not agreed if Father is also the son, from the word ONENESS, first,John 10:30 I and my father are one.. "ARE represents more than one, therefore, they have defferent being. like a couples..eg man and wife they twain shall be one flesh.Mat.19:5 so they are 2 being, like Father and his Son they one God. 2nd we must accept what word of God written by all aposles. Jesus said, I go unto the father: For my father is greater than I... So they are not the same, in power and being. And God says let us make man in our images, after our likeness. "OUR" means we must accept that there are 2 creatures. In Proberbs 8:22-24 that is the wisdome: and who is that wisdome taking? I Cor.1:24 "Christ" is that wisdome talking in Proberbs that the Lord Possessed him, was setup him and was brougth forth him. Thanks God that he give to the member of the Church of God Internation an understanding to accept Gods mystery, through his preachers sent in this time. Mat. 19:11, Mar. 4:11 ..
