make it count

1 Corinthians 3

12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person's work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames. 16 Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in your midst?

Live accordingly.  First, recognize that what we do will be judged, and only what is eternal will last.  So, make it count.  Second, recognize that we collectively are God's temple, and the Spirit of God lives in us.  So, live according to the Spirit, not the flesh.

Heavenly Father, please help me invest in your Kingdom and live out your life.  I love you, and I pray in the name of Jesus Christ.
