Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
(1 Corinthians 15:58 ESV)
Paul has given a thorough dissertation on the resurrection, assuring us that it will happen, and pointing us to Christ Himself as our guarantee that it will, and it will be wonderful. Based upon that, he gives us one charge: Don't give in and don't give up. We have every reason to go on in this life, and to live it to our fullest in HIM. When we get to the end, be it our own passing on, or His return, we will not be like a piece of pottery or metallurgy that is rejected and left on the counter, unpaid for. The price has already been paid by Christ. He will not reject us or leave us behind. He will take us, use us, and enjoy having us, forever.
