Earthly Recognition Or Eternal Reward?

It's not about a pat on the back or having your name etched onto a plaque It's not about a huge bonus check It's about the eternal reward that you should expect people are always wanting to boast about their earthly deeds they are insecure and earthly recognition they seem to need but just because the boss points you out and the Pastor mentions your name If It's only earthly recognition you seek, the what will your soul have gained? to constantly seek earthly things and the desires that are of man amassing monetary treasures and acquiring lots of land there's nothing wrong with these desires but they are not what God requires It's not about the money, your status nor your college degrees It's about the eternal salvation for you, that God has decreed God wants you to live and abide by the Word that he sent and the preaching and teachings of Jesus Christ, His Christmas present to love your fellow man, to have a spirit of no fear to study on the Word during your time down here for tomorrow is not promised, at any moment you could die and then where will you eternally reside? with The Holy Spirit we now have reconciliation Jesus Christ died on the cross to offer us salvation His atoned for our sins so we could have justification the sacrificial blood was the redemption for our sins the grace and mercy of God within our reach once again earthly recognition or eternal reward? you decide which deposit you can afford
