What Really Matters

What are you living for?   In 2 Corinthians 5:9-10 , the Apostle Paul explains why he lived the way he did.

So our aim is to please him always, whether we are here in this body or away from this body.  For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in our bodies.

The Bible teaches us that one day we will all stand before a holy God and give an account for the things we have done and said.    Will we find success?    On that day we will find that success comes in serving Jesus, not in building an empire.  My prayer for each of us is that as we stand before Jesus we will hear him say:  "Well done, thou good and faithful servant."
