1 | If you live right, you are rewarded? | 1 John 1:9 | Mommapbs | 134214 | ||
If you live right, you are rewarded? Please support this statement. Where does God's Word say that if a regenerated believer does not confess sin he/she will pay the "wages of sin?" |

2 | If you live right, you are rewarded? | 1 John 1:9 | Glory Bound | 134262 | ||
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man ACCORDING TO HIS WORKS. Mat 16:27 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, if they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. Heb 6:4-6 GB |

GB - Salvation is NOT a reward for "good works" or right living. Eph 2:8-9; Titus 3:5 Jesus will indeed "reward" - unbelievers will get the wage of sin - eternal separation from God and believers will be given the gift of eternal life because of what Christ HAS done for them ( Rom 5: 1,9-10; 2 Cor 5:21) and rewarded for what He has done through them (John 15:5; 1 Cor 3:9-15) - it's all about Jesus. HIS WORK alone is pleasing to God. "This is My Beloved Son in Whom I am well-pleased." When Christ works in and though us, God is well pleased too. Even when a believer is disobedient, Christ's finished WORK of redemption provides our righteousness; we may thwart His activity in our lives but HE is still at work IN us by the Holy Spirit who testifies of our "son ship" (Romans 8:16). By no means am I excusing sin in the life of a believer - it grieves God and SHOULD grieve us as well. Blessings, mommapbs |

I have often thought of the term "double negative" concerning such. It seems it may apply here. Sin graves the Holy Spirit. Thus it cannot possibly please God when a believer is disobedient. I would think that the only thing pleasing about it would be the believer’s faithful dependency on His son for success against sin. GB |
