Q. What will happen to the property and possessions of believers when the Lord comes?
A. There is no difficulty with this question when we realize that we are stewards of the Lord. All we posses should be looked at as being loaned to us by Him and belonging to Him. We are to use it for His glory until He comes. “Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful” (1 Corinthians 4:2). When the Lord comes our stewardship ends, and we are no longer responsible, but must give an account at the Judgment Seat of Christ as to how faithful we were with what was entrusted to us. “So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God” (Romans 14:12). What we leave behind is the Lord’s and we can leave it all in His hands. He will take care of it in His own way and we need not concern ourselves about it. Our responsibility has ended!
What we should be concerned about is our present faithfulness and responsibility. The question is, are we using what has been given us in a way that is pleasing to Him, for His glory, and for the furtherance of the gospel? We will be held accountable!
