When Jesus comes with all His glory and majesty will He find you faithful or faithless?
Luk 18:7-8
And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

Will He find you laboring at the work He gave you to do or will you be found persuing fun and worldly pleasures?

Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven.

Labor for treasures in Heaven and not on the earth.
For where your treasure is, so there will also be your heart.
What will God find when He examines your heart?
Mat 6:19-21
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

The day of the Lord is at hand, are you ready to meet Him?

Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for [it is] nigh at hand;

Have you finished the work He gave you to do?
Remember the parable of the five virgins with no oil in their lamps.
If there wasn't any oil in their lamps, how could their light have been shining?
Lamps don't give light without oil.
Mat 25:1-13
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish.
They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
But the wise answered, saying, [Not so]; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Let your light so shine that others will see your good works and glorify God.
Mat 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
