What God Says About His Rewards 1
GOD’S WORD ON REWARDS
Some rewards are natural consequences for wise or foolish behavior. Productivity on the job brings a bonus or raise, while ineffectiveness, laziness, or unethical practices bring dismissal.
Some rewards are intangible, like the inner satisfaction one feels after an act of generosity or compassion.
The Bible includes examples and illustrations of each. The greatest reward it talks about, however, is not earned but received as a gift-the gift of eternal life. God tells us in His word, that if we Obey His Commandments and do what He asks us to do, we shall reap the rewards.
There are so many which talk bad about Christians, because they live in nice homes, have nice cars, have nice clothing, nice material things, boats etc. and they talk bad about them; which they shouldn’t not at all.
God REWARDS those who diligently seek him and do His work, and obeys Him, that does not mean they are bad Christians because they are being awarded by GOD ALMIGHTY! I have listed verses which just may help you understand the purpose of Getting REWARDED by God for doing what He wants us to do, to Help Him bring others to Him, and when we give to the Kingdom of God, God blesses us back.
