For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and, when he does, he will reward each one according to his behaviour.
Mt.16:27
Behaviour reaps a reward, good or bad.
But, isn't being Christian about just being loved and not about earning? Well, yes, but love is only fully received when it is spontaneously given away. How does the song go? "...love isn't love 'til you give it away."
This begs the question... how's my behaviour? Am I lavishly throwing away love? Honestly, I could do better. And of course, it is in giving that I receive. So what have I got to loose?
Jesus, help me become a lavish lover, like you.
