The only things we can keep are the things we freely give to God.
C. S. Lewis
We know this to be fact. You take nothing physical from this earth with us. The new body we received will be just that, new. Everything else is left behind. The only thing we take with us is our actions.
Did we ask for forgiveness?
Did we make Jesus Lord?
Did we worship God?
Did we live for Him or selfishly for ourselves?
Did we try to love and reach others so they do not perish?
Did we love others as ourselves?
Did we live for God and a good life or did we live for evil?
These are some things we take with us and you can see none of them has to do with worldly success.
Ecclesiastes 5:15 – 15Naked a man comes from his mother’s womb, and as he comes, so he departs.
He takes nothing from his labor that he can carry in his hand.
So what are we to be working for? Which kingdom?
