If necessary, why not?

Everyone who will be saved, will have easy work there. Even those who never really worked here, will love to work in God's Kingdom.
What will we do?

What will we do?
Everyone who is alive had been given means of sustenance, that which is not their own. If we are not faithful with this, how can we be trusted when we have what is our own, our treasure in heaven, souls we have won. In the afterlife we will be responsible for teaching, growing our spiritual family.

Luke 16
12"And if you have not been faithful in the use of that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?

The Lord always wants what is best for us. His commandments are meant to keep us out of trouble and lead us to peace. Does the world also want what is best for us?

The world as we know is the kingdom of Satan. Satan does not want us to have peace. He introduces temptation and doubt so that we may stumble in our desire for God. We are told to be "In the world and not of the world." To pray in the spirit and not in the flesh. "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

The best I can make of it, Satan wants us to bow down to him. He can't show his face, so he tries to force us to bow down to his chosen people.

Yes, bowing to him would be his first choice, but if he can't do that, he wants us to at least not bow to God. An atheist and a Satan worshiper are both wins for the devil!

When we sin, we give him ammunition to use against us.

An awful lot of Christians wind up as martyrs, and an awful lot of self-worshippers wind up old and rich.

That's part of why the worldly is popular.
When we do things the Lord's way, we have peace of mind.
