Whatever our earthly condition, all of us “are serving the Lord Christ,” as Paul stated. And he talks about Heavenly rewards in the passage, which is shifting our focus toward the life after this one, to those rewards that all of us will hopefully receive to some degree by our obedience to God here on the earth as we live out our lives. Important stuff. It appears often times we lose sight of this in our modern times. We are often so focused on what we can get in this life. We hear the phrase, “You only live once,” and even the speaker has said it to others at times. While that is true, it can, if we are not careful, imply that all that really matters is what we get out of this world. The implication can be that, “We better get all we can in the here and now because we won’t be coming this way again.” Paul presents us with a different perspective, a different view, the view that the good things that we do now accrue for us eternal rewards which we aren’t going to lose.
