A - Accounting Model

I am still developing this analogy for understanding the benefits of being part of Christ's family.


Assets = Liability + Equity

Assets: Jesus gave His life for us.(the perfect Lamb of God who was crucified for us was more precious than silver and gold)
The loving things we do for God can be capitalized as assets and we receive rewards in Heaven.

Liability: Jesus' death paid for our sins and wiped clean our debt of sin. "Owe no man but to love him"

Equity: The Creator had already owned us anyway. We should avoid retained earnings(except maybe on the Sabbath) and use every resource to do good works continually.

Expenses: We should avoid expenses, our lives should capitalize cash and resources as heavenly rewards, or give it out as dividends to God.

Income: We should avoid holding on and not capitalizing what we receive. give anything else out as dividends to God.
