 Well, that's what God saved us for. He didn't save us just to take us to heaven. If he saved us just to take us to heaven, he would have took us to heaven the moment we got saved and saved himself a lot of embarrassment along the way. But God saved us so that we might obey him. And Paul is commending this congregation on their obedience. He said, I know you obeyed when I was there. I know you're continuing to obey in my absence. And that is a good thing.
