God has so ordered the world that living according to his moral standards very often brings rewards in the natural realm, and violating God’s standards often brings destruction to people, in both cases indicating the eventual direction of the final judgment: Honesty, hard work, showing love and kindness to others, and faithfulness in marriage and family will (except in the most corrupt societies) bring much more material and emotional reward in this life than dishonesty, laziness, cruelty, marital infidelity, and other wrongs such as drunkenness, drug abuse, theft, and so forth. ^[1]

上帝如此命令世界，按照他的道德標准生活往往會在自然領域帶來回報，而違反上帝的標准往往會給人們帶來毀滅，這兩種情況都表明了最終審判的最終方向：誠實，努力工作，表現對他人的愛和善意，以及對婚姻和家庭的忠誠（除了在最腐敗的社會中）將比不誠實、懶惰、殘忍、婚姻不忠和其他錯誤，如酗酒、吸毒、偷盜等，帶來更多的物質和情感回報。
