2 Corinthians 5:6-10
6 Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. 7 For we live by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 9 So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
Reflection
Our last feature of living as a slave of Christ is to be personally accountable. Whether we like it or not we are accountable for our own actions, no one else. This truly means that we need to think about how we are living. This does not exclude grace, but we also should not use grace as an excuse for our actions. What in your life needs to change? God can help, take it to the Lord in prayer.
