God is no man’s debtor. The idea that many people have of suffering for Christ and missing out on so much in order to please God is a caricature concocted by Satan. It is certain that no one, when it comes time to die, regrets having missed out on worldly pleasures or treasures or honors as a result of serving God. And how can even those who have lost position and possessions, have been tortured, imprisoned, or killed because of their faith, hold any regret that an eternal reward awaits them? Paul reminds us: “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us…. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory” (Romans:8:18; 2 Corinthians:4:17).
