2 Corinthians 5:10
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
Martin Luther said he lives for "today" and "that day." There will be a day when everyone will stand before the judgment seat of God and answer for every thought, every word spoken, and every action taken in this life. For Christians, it will not be a judgment for our sin because Jesus absorbed the wrath of God in our place on the Cross. It is the degree of rewards we are concerned with. How have we lived our lives under God's grace? What marks have we left in the lives of people for the Kingdom? God's work of sanctification through the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer is the process that connects us to eternity. What connections are you making intentionally in your walk with God towards eternity. We have one life to live, no practice, so let's make it count for the Lord.
