1 | God has promised rewards. | Heb 11:6 | vume | 45780 | ||
Why do Christians fade to gray about rewards? Many (most) Christians are ready to share their relationship to God yet how many will Glorify God by declaring how they are rewarded? |

2 | God has promised rewards. | Heb 11:6 | Makarios | 45784 | ||
Greetings Vume, It is one thing to offer testimony to others what God has done in your life, and another to boast in those blessings. James 4:16 tells us not to boast in our arrogance (Rom. 1:30), but we should boast only in Christ! (2 Cor. 12:9; Rom. 2:17; Heb. 3:6) Blessings to you, Makarios |

3 | God has promised rewards. | Heb 11:6 | vume | 46159 | ||
Makarios; Thank you for your responce although our thinking seems minds (miles) apart. You know nothing about me yet your comment assumes that I need to be rebuked. James 4:16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. "glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me" This could be an anawer but it focuses on the house not the builder. Romans 2:11-29 This is very good and helpful, thank you for obeying your leading to share it. I almost wish I had asked my question about this scripture, but back to Hebrews 11:6. Heb:3:6 - but he that built all things is God. Hebrews:3:10: Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. I accept (Heb 11:6-He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out]) this as God's Word, not mine or any mans. If God has a system of rewards then to enter into His Will and Way, I do agree must be a humble and obedient walk for the best of God's sons. Along with my original question let me add, do we forefit rewards when we come up short in our (diligently) seeking Him? |

4 | God has promised rewards. | Heb 11:6 | Makarios | 46162 | ||
Greetings Vume, I certainly did not mean to be harsh or to bring rebuke to you, but I simply perceived an opportunity to answer your question based on what you initially gave in your post to start with. It is quite possible that we have misunderstood each other, and are (as you say) "minds apart." Even though the English language contains its own imperfections, I remain confident that it could still suffice in our communication, and clarity of both thought and purpose here is of the utmost importance, supported by chapter and verse whenever possible. It is telling that I was the only 'answeree' to your original question, of which possibly could be explained by the fact that others were also a little unconvinced in their own minds of what you were originally asking on behalf of the Forum. But your response has led me to say this, in response to your original question: Yes, we are rewarded! Scripture references that apply to rewards or losing one's reward include: Heb. 3:16-19; James 1:12; 2 John 8; Zech. 1:6; Isaiah 3:10-11; Matthew 25:34-46; Romans 2:7,10; 2 Tim. 2:11-13.. I hope that this helps you in your study! Makarios |

5 | God has promised rewards. | Heb 11:6 | vume | 46167 | ||
Makarios; As I said in my first responce thank you. Getting the niceties of how we each do things out of the way, I also would like to say and be accountable to knowing and doing what God wants. Yes it is telling that only you answered my question, my thuoght is that in God's wisdom what we have to share is important enough to go one on one. Do you have a comment on my remark in my last note "system of rewards". Heb 3:19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief Jas:1:12: Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Jas:1:18: Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. 2Jo:1:8: Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 2Jo:1:9: Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. Matthew 25:34-46 seed time planting and harvest Ro:2:6: Who will render to every man according to his deeds (diligent or derilect) 2Tm:2:14: Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. |
