Here are some reasons, why I should be living for Jesus
以下是我为什么要为耶稣而活的原因
I Have A Mansion
我有一座豪宅
People often say I have many flats/houses, many people in the world say look at my house isn’t it brilliant, but all I can say, look I have a mansion John 14:1-6.

I Have A Reward

We have a reward, Paul is striving for a heavenly reward, look at Philippians 3 and 2 Timothy 4. We see so many people get rich and have many rewards, we may envy them, but we have no need to envy them, we will have the most amazing reward for our service to Him.
我们有一个奖赏,保罗正在努力获得天堂的奖赏,看看腓立比书3章和提摩太后书4章。我们看到这么多人变得富有,得到了很多奖赏,我们可能会嫉妒他们,但我们没有必要嫉妒他们,我们会因为事奉他而得到最惊人的奖赏。
I Have An Inhertiance
我有一笔遗产
We have an amazing inheritance, that will not rust or be taken away, so many people have money in the bank, but we have treasure that will never fade away 1 Peter 1.
我们有一笔惊人的遗产,它不会生锈或被拿走,很多人在银行里存有钱财,但我们有永远不会朽坏的财富(彼得前书1章)。
I Have Eternity With God
我有上帝永恒的同在
We have our Jesus, we will be with Him for eternity, whatever we go through here on earth, in terms of persecution, suffering etc. is worth it, because of the glory we will have when we spend eternity with Him in His heavenly home. Romans 8
我们有耶稣,我们将永远与他同在,无论我们在地上经历什么,无论是在迫害、苦难等方面,都是值得的,因为当我们在天家中与他共度永恒时,这将是我们拥有的无上荣耀(罗马书第8章)。
What matters to you believer?

你将留下什么遗产?
Will your legacy be one of spiritual or monetary value?

I want my life to count for God, I want to remembered for the grace of God in saving a sinner like me.
我希望我的生命为上帝而活,我希望人们记住上帝拯救像我这样的罪人的恩典。
Whilst here on earth, I want to do two things:
在世上,我想做两件事:
I want to know Him Philippians 3
I want to make Him known Matthew 28:19-20
我想认识他(腓立比书3章)
我想让他被人所认识(马太福音28:19-20)
Make your life count, if you have never trusted Christ, trust Him today, if you are serving Him, strive for that heavenly crown, for your heavenly reward.
让你的生命有意义,如果你从未相信过基督,今天就来信他,如果你在事奉他,就为那天上的王冠而奋斗,为得着你天上的赏赐而奋斗。
Because – Living for and Loving JESUS is the ONLY thing that truly matters.
因为为耶稣而活和爱耶稣是唯一真正重要的事情。
