It is related to a number of similar idioms, such as "What goes around, comes around" and the concept of Karma.

The basic premise is that by doing good things now for others, eventually good things will come to you. Or if you do bad things, eventually bad things will come around to you.

You are 'paying in advance' for things that will pay you back in the future.
