We don't want to live selfishly and only be concerned about what is happening in the here and now. We want to "fight the good fight of faith, lay hold of eternal life." (1 Tim. 6:12) At the judgment seat of Christ, Christians will not be judged for sin. We will be judged for what we have done on earth and we will be given rewards at that time.
Jesus has called each of us before the foundations of the world. We all have a job to do. We are the Church, His Body, His Bride. He's not coming back for a weak and puny Church. Jesus wants us to know who we are in Christ and what is our inheritance in Him in order to demonstrate His good works to the world. He doesn't want us to be wimpy, but strong in the Lord and the power of His might. There is nothing more fulfilling than doing something for God.
In 2010 let's catch fire for the Lord! Let's "lay aside every weight and the sin which is easily besets us and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." Let's determine in our hearts that we will dedicate ourselves to the Lord afresh and anew, and look beyond to Eternity. Let's run straight toward Jesus and the finish line!!!
