During the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), U.S. Vice President James David Vance stated that he is more concerned not with earthly rewards but with whether he is acting rightly before Almighty God. Forbes is publishing a video of his speech.

Vance noted that throughout Christianity’s 2000-year history, there have been both dark and good times.

"I just try to remind myself that we put our faith in God above, we put our faith in the grace of God, and we try the best to do His will," the Vice President said.

He emphasized that he strives to act rightly before Almighty God.

"We don't worry so much about whether we're going to have earthly rewards, we worry about whether we're doing right by God Almighty above. That's what I try to do and that's how I try to run my life in public," the politician concluded.

As the UOJ reported, Vance believes that death is a bad thing, but it is much more terrible for a Christian to lose one's soul.
