Beloved, how would you want God to relate with you now and in the distant future in eternity? That decision is exclusively yours. Your relationship and desired blessings associated with it from God are predicated by your personal inputs .
God has an unchanging principles with which He relates with humanity from eternality past to eternal future. See His principles.

Dearly beloved, the lifestyle of our Lord during His earthly ministry is worthy of emulation for believers of all ages and you in particular.. All that our Lord received from His Father were not accidental but were earned. He sowed unashamed obedience to His Father, He reaped unequal recompense. See them yourself and be constrained to follow suit.
1. Exalted name.
Philippians 2:5-11 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
2. Uncommon anointing.
Hebrews 1:8-9. But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
3; Highest majesty.

Galatians 6:7-9 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
See how other scriptures affirmed same principle.
Romans 2:6-10. Who will render to every man according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
Romans 6:22: But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

Revelation 22:11-12. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
So take advantage of this godly rewardable principle for your earthly and eternal wellbeing from now on. It is well with you in Jesus name.
Friend, if you sincerely will validate your earnest desire to be part of the dawning rapture, then plunge yourself unreservedly to the principle of sowing and reaping, as seen below.
Galatians 6:7-9 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Our Lord Jesus Christ was reputed for doing what He taught. See it.
Acts 1:1. The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
But then even our Father in heaven was exemplary, as He distinguished Himself benefitting immensely from the principle of sowing and reaping. From eternity past, He had only one beloved, begotten Son in the person of our Lord Jesus Christ.
But then, He had passion for innumerable beloved obedient sons in eternity future. So He sowed our Lord on the cross of Calvary to reap sons. Praise God, you are included. Hallelujah.
Hebrews 2:9-10. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
So, to help you too, to partake in the imminent rapture, see what you must be sowing, till our Lord comes.
1. Instruments of righteousness.
Romans 6:13: Neither yield ye your members asinstruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
2. Mortification of the deeds of your body.
Romans 8:13: For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
3. Avoiding making provision for fleshly lust that can destroy your soul. Your soul shall not be destroyed in Jesus name.
Romans 13:14: But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
1 Peter 2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
4. Be peaceable like the prince of peace.
James 3:18: And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
Romans 12:18. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

1 John 5:18. We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
God’s grace shall be sufficient for you in Jesus name.
