Excerpts from 1 Corinthians 15

3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. 6 After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep; 20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. 21 For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. 26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death.        

50 Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, "DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory. 55 "O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?" 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; 57 but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.

“Are you listening to the instruction and counsel of the Holy Bible”? If you are then you are storing up wisdom for the latter days that will carry you into eternity. Unfortunately there is another side to this storeroom. Far too many people are storing up wrath in their heart and I just have to ask. If you are one of those people; WHY? Why go to the grave full of bitterness and wrath? Surely God does not want this for you; “God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should be saved”.

2 Peter 3:9 – The LORD is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the LORD will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. (Please read on through verse 13).

Did you notice? Both the earth and the works in the earth will be burned up. If you are working for earthly reward, it is all for naught. However if your focus is on the LORD Jesus Christ; this is the wisdom and counsel of God. His reward for you and me is with Him and when He returns He will bring it to disburse to those who are called by His Name. Revelation 22:12.
