Well the first Christians were Jews and that's not the message that they've presented.

King James Version, New Testament, Matthew:
MAT 6.19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
MAT 6.20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
MAT 6.21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
MAT 6.22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
MAT 6.23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
MAT 6.24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot * serve God and mammon.
Mammon is according to Strong's Concordance:
"(g3126) μαμμωνας, — mam-mo-nas'; of Chaldian origin (confidence, i.e. figurative wealth, personified); mammonas, i.e. avarice (deified): — mammon.
Transliterated: mammonas; Pronounced: mam-mo-nas' of Aramaic origin (confidence, i.e. wealth, personified); TDNT 4:388; n m Trans & freq in the AV- mammon 4 times;
4 occurrences of Greek word in AV
1. mammon
2. treasure
3. riches (where it is personified and opposed to God)"
MAT 6.25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
MAT 6.26 Behold * the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
MAT 6.27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
MAT 6.28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
MAT 6.29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
MAT 6.30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
MAT 6.31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat ? or, What shall we drink ? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed ?
MAT 6.32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
According to Strong's Concordance the Greek word for Gentile is Ethnos:
"(g1484) εθνος, — eth'-nos; probably from (1486) (εθω); a race (as of the same habit), i.e. a tribe; specially a foreign (non-Jewish) one (usually by implication pagan): — Gentile, heathen, nation, people.
Transliterated: ethnos; Pronounced: eth'-nos probably from 1486; TDNT 2:364; n n Trans & freq in the AV- Gentiles 93 times, nation 64 times, heathen 5 times, people 2 times; 164 occurrences of Greek word in AV
1. a multitude (whether of men or of beasts) associated or living together a. a company, troop, swarm
2. a multitude of individuals of the same nature or genus
a. the human family
3. a tribe, nation, people group
4. in the OT, foreign nations not worshipping the true God, pagans, Gentiles
5. Paul uses the term for Gentile Christians"
MAT 6.33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
MAT 6.34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
