"Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt." (Romans 4:4).

I'm pretty sure God is not interested in being in DEBT to a "worker".

To: small voice in the wilderness; Dr. Eckleburg

“Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.” (Luke 17:9-10)

Jesus own words shoots down any concept of merit.
