11It is wisdom in me; therefore, a commandment I give unto you, that ye shall organize yourselves and appoint every man hisastewardship;
13For it is expedient that I, the Lord, should make every manaaccountable, as a bsteward over earthly blessings, which I have made and prepared for my creatures.
14I, the Lord, stretched out the heavens, and abuilt the earth, my very bhandiwork; and all things therein are mine.
16But it must needs be done in mine own away; and behold this is the way that I, the Lord, have decreed to provide for my saints, that the bpoor shall be exalted, in that the rich are made low.
17For the aearth is full, and there is enough and to spare; yea, I prepared all things, and have given unto the children of men to bebagents unto themselves.
18Therefore, if any man shall take of the aabundance which I have made, and impart not his portion, according to the blaw of my gospel, unto the cpoor and the needy, he shall, with the wicked, lift up his eyes in dhell, being in torment.
Luke 16
Luke 16
19¶There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
21And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the aangels into bAbraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23And in ahell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetimeareceivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

Nice post Chris. People tend to think that it is only people's actions that determine what their eternal reward is. It is true that they are a large, but in reality, it is what people BECOME that determine their reward... the place they will be comfortable.
People that do not become celestial can not abide a celestial condition.
