What is the spiritual significance of letting God do great things in our lives?
Our recompense at the Judgment Seat of Christ will be based on how much we let God do in our lives on Earth, how much we were willing to accept His grace and to pursue His plan. Those who let Him make them spiritually great in time will bear the mark of that greatness forever; they will shine forever as a reflection of the surpassing glory of the grace of God! When we see all our years, days, hours, and minutes pass through those flames, we will understand—with the perfect clarity that we could have today by faith—that the only greatness worth pursuing in life was the greatness of grace, that the only race worth running was the race of faith, and that the only fight worth fighting was the fight for spiritual growth. Our riches in Heaven will reflect our spiritual growth on Earth.
