The
Great Infinite One looks at our works, whether
or not we may be aware of Him:.Psalms
33:15 "He fashions their
hearts alike. He considers all their works."
Job
7:17,18 "What is man, that you should magnify him? And that thou should
set thine heart upon him? And that you should visit
him every morning.and
try him every moment?".The realm
of spiritual purposes beyond the physical life has no comparison with this
stage we are now on.
2John
1:8 "Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have
wrought, but that we receive a full reward."
Mark
10:40 "But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine
to give; but it is given to them for
whom
it is prepared.".And
it is the Father who determines
this:.Matthew
20:23.
Revelation
2:10 "...be you faithful unto death and I will give thee a crown of
life."
Revelation
20:6 "Blessed and holy is he that has part
in the first resurrection on such the second
death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ
and shall reign with him a thousand years."
Revelation
1:5,6 "And from Jesus Christ, who
is the faithful witness and the first begotten
of the dead and the prince of the kings of the earth; unto him that
loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood, and has made us
kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion
for ever and ever."
Revelation
5:10 "And has made us unto our God kings and priests and we shall reign
on
the earth."
John
14:2,3 "In my Father's house are many
mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare
a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again
and receive you unto myself, that where I am.(back
on the earth:.Zechariah
14:4), there you may be also."
1Corinthians
3:8-15 "Now he.(Christ).that
plants and he that waters are one, and every man receives his own reward
according
to his own labour. For we are labourers together with God. You are
God's husbandry, you are God's building.....But let every man take heed
how
he builds thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that
is laid, which is Jesus Christ.(what
does 'Christ' mean?).....Every man's
work ismade manifest, for the
day declares it, because it shall be revealed by fire.(trials
reveal whether or not your character is that of His character, and that
is love).and
the fire tries every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide.(only
works of love have a lasting effect).which
he has built thereupon, he receives a reward. If any man's work is burned.(works
not built with love get burned up by the trials of living, for example,
works built out of selfishness cause loss to the selfish person, sometime,
somehow).he
suffers loss, but he himself shall be saved; yet
so as by fire."
Isaiah
40:10 "Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand and his arm
shall rule for him. Behold, his reward is with him and his work before
him."
To rule on the Earth:.Revelation
5:10;
2:26;
3:21.
For how long?:.Isaiah
9:7. Our eternal inheritance is in Him:.Ephesians
1:11;
Colossians 1:12,13. God
promises to freely give us all things:.Romans
8:32. All things are His to give:.1Corinthians
10:26. The spiritual person of love (called 'Christian' in the New
Testament in the Holy Bible) can have great hope
in the
promises of the Great Infinite One.
Why be limited to a
thirty fold reward.(Matthew
13:8;
Mark 4:8,20; Luke
8:15; John 15:16), when you
can get a hundred; if you try?.Philemon
1:21 "Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing
that thou will also do more than I say."
Become diligent.
Work
on things!.Prepare
for the future, the after life. This life may matter now, but it's over
so quickly. Make sure your works (some are)
get you the best reward that you can possibly get for what is coming.
God is there to help you.
You 'drive the car'. He 'puts the fuel in':.1Corinthians
3:9,10 "For we are labourers together with God. You are God's husbandry,
you are God's building. According to the grace of God which is given unto
me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds
thereon. But let every man take heed how he builds thereupon."
But even he with the lowest
reward will be greater in the Kingdom of God
than the greatest man on Earth:.Matthew
11:11.....continue?
