II Corinthians 5:1-10 ~ The Promises of Ministry

Excerpt:

One day, God is going to take inventory.  For the believer, we are going to answer to the Lord for what has been done in our life.  He does not make us responsible for producing His work. We are responsible for how we build and how our life in Christ is being developed.  If all of our Christian life is built on entertaining the flesh and experiencing emotional things, when we stand before the bema seat, that is going to burn.  All the fluff of the flesh is going to burn off.  And whatever is left is who we will be throughout eternity.   That is going to be our reward.  It will be the finished work of Christ.  So, you can see why Satan would be busy in the church trying to distract Christians, to keep them entertained and keep the flesh going, so they stay away from the spiritual things that will last for eternity.
