Neither did God, he created us out of dust!

This reminds me of a scripture class I had in High School, where the bloke got up and explained how without God, the actions in the lives of Mother Theresa and Hitler are no different. When we broke up into seperate groups, we were lucky enough to have this man as our leader. I asked him why being rewarded with an afterlife should be the motivation of good deeds. I said it seemed selfish to me: Why can't we be good for goodness sake, rather than for promise of reward?
I think you need to ask yourself why you're a Christian. Is it because you love Christ? Or are you motivated by personal gain, as you said yourself: "I would have nothing to look forward to when I die."
