Japanese term or phrase: 献身の先に
Hi, everyone! How should I interpret 先に in the following sentence?

信じよう!献身の先に、我らの神は救済と祝福を与えてくださる

I don't get if it's temporal (When we'll be devoted to him, our god will give us rescue and blessing), consecutive (Due to our devotion to him, our god will give us rescue and blessing) or something else.

Thank you!

Explanation:
It is sequential. ... の先に here is like "what lies ahead of ..."

One possible translation is "Our dedication will lead our God to rescue us and bless us" and that is what they want to believe, isn't it?
