Reward to seek God: Mark 10:28-30(NLT)
“Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.” Hebrews 11:1, 6 (NLT)
Just the belief of there is a true living God, who wants to be our Father and take to Him all the responsibilities we have here, is itself a comfort for us. Sitting at God’s feet and sharing all the trials and burdens will solve most of our problems. And for doing this, rewards also we will get; because our God is loaded with good things to give us and is waiting with love for us to approach Him wholeheartedly. This is the truth of our God, who lives forever. Amen.
Reward to do work as to God: Matthew 20:25-28(NLT)
“Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.” Colossians 3:23-24 (NLT)
By just doing our services to our family and at work, we do as if we are doing and working for our Master Lord Jesus, we will get an inheritance in His Kingdom. If we have this mentality, we will have reverential fear and we will do our best too; moreover our God who watches from heaven can reward us.
Reward for overcoming temptation: Matthew 5:11-12(NLT)
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.” Revelation 3:20-21 (NKJV)
Jesus overcame temptation and went through the sufferings of the Cross and sat on God’s Throne. Therefore if we too overcome the temptations and go through persecutions, He will make us sit on His Throne!! There are many rewards mentioned all over New Testament and especially in Revelation for the 7 churches, based on conditions we have to follow and rewards available ultimately.
““Look, I am coming soon! Blessed are those who obey the words of prophecy written in this book. ” “Look, I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me to repay all people according to their deeds. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this message for the churches. I am both the source of David and the heir to his throne. I am the bright morning star.”” Revelation 22:7, 12-13, 16 (NLT)
