I Corinthians 15:58
Therefore, my dear brothers, --
This is the conclusion, the logical result of the Truth of Resurrection in our own lives; family Truth.
stand firm. Let nothing move you. --
Do not let your thoughts wander off of the settled Truth you know already; don't be fooled.
Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, --
Just like I, Paul, have done, follow me as I follow Christ.
because you know --
Have no doubts.
that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. --
Whatever we do in God's power, according to His will for us, to fulfill our part in His Plan to bring His Kingdom, will be rewarded, eternally.
This awarding of rewards will take place at the Judgement Seat of Christ, the Bema Seat, to take place at our Resurrection when Jesus returns. (See Romans 4:10; II Corinthians 5:10 and I Corinthians 3:11-15.)
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
