\u201cIn the gospel, those who work hard like Paul will receive great rewards in heaven.\u201d<\/h2>\n

Apostle Paul was the most qualified man in many respects: his education, wealth, power, and honor as well as his citizenship in Rome, which was envied by people of his time. However, as he began to preach the gospel, being called by God, he forsook arrogance and preached with humility and tears (Ac 20:17\u201320). Although he was cold, naked, hungry, and beaten a lot, he knew the value of heaven, so he did not regard suffering as suffering but only cared about the church and the members.<\/p>\n

Just as God was persecuted when He came to this earth to preach the gospel, we, God\u2019s heirs, are to suffer hardships on this earth as the humble (Ro 8:16\u201318). Those who receive awards work harder than others. In the gospel, those who work hard like Paul will receive great rewards in heaven.<\/p>\n

\u201cApostle Paul said, \u2018I face death every day.\u2019 It doesn\u2019t mean physical death but killing pride and worldly desires daily.\u201d<\/h2>\n

The transformation from a selfish heart to a loving one is challenging. However, by doing that difficult thing, we receive many blessings. Apostle Paul said, \u201cI face death every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n \u201cI face death every day\u2014yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.\u201d\n 1 Co 15:31<\/small>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It doesn\u2019t mean physical death but killing pride and worldly desires daily. Only when the sinful nature die within us, Christ can work within us and love can be bestowed upon others through us.<\/p>\n

\u201cApostle Paul, too, ran toward the kingdom of heaven to the end for the reward of the calling.\u201d<\/h2>\n

There may be hard times and difficulties, but your present sufferings cannot be compared with the glory that will be revealed. Those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness will have a great reward in heaven (Ro 8:18; Mt 5:10\u201312). Apostle Paul, too, ran toward the kingdom of heaven to the end for the reward of the calling.<\/p>\n

\n \u201cI press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. . . . I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.\u201d\n Php 3:12\u201314<\/small>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Believing the words, \u201cTake hold of what you have\u201d and \u201cHe who keeps my work to the end, I will give him authority over all the nations\u201d (Rev 3:11; 2:26), let us carry out the gospel mission until the end.<\/p>\n
