"God is not mocked," Galatians 6:7.
What goes around comes around. The principle of Karma yields according to how well one has fulfilled one's duty. Status in the next reincarnation (of cycles without count) depends upon the aggregate good or bad you've already done. Scripture is more to the point (this isn't very nice, so the squeamish might want to stop reading here), if you work life pursuing your own ego, you earn more of that rotting self. And then you rot dead. Graves are filled with dead rot, right? Contrarily, if you plant Spirit, the Spirit harvests in you eternal life. One cycle: life, death, resurrection, judgment, eternal life (or Rot). How to plant Spirit? pretty simple, actually: help people. Really. Yeah, and trust in Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection to have worked it all. Really. Except the rotting part. That's only for mockers.
We give thanks to Jesus who went around doing good, and we, forgiven, copy that spiritual life. In visits with a brother or sister today, we sow to his Spirit.
