This "jumps out" at me
1Corinthians 15: 58
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

My Take:
     We all have work we have to do, but how much of that work is in vain?  Wash your car, then wait a week.  It'll be as if you hadn't done the work at all.  Everything we clean: cars, clothes, dishes, carpets, will get dirty again.  Every thing on earth deteriorates over time.  However, Jesus cleaned us of our sins past, present, and future.  As long as we have faith in that fact, we are clean forever.  We cannot do work that will earn us lasting treasure in this world, but when we abound in the work of the Lord, we build up treasures in heaven.
