Bible Note: Hello DocTrinsograce; Heb 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. From this verse I would say the God requires us to believe that He will reward us for seeking Him. Please dont take me wrong in what I am going to say. I'm not saying that you don't believe this because from what you write it seems you include all this in the term salvation. But I usually divide salvation like this; God did not give us salvation just so that we could be saved. He saved us for something; a relationship with Him. In my view salvation is just the first step. It refers to delivering us from the bondage of sin and the jugdement that comes with it. Being freed from all that we now have access to have and grow in a living, dynamic, powerful relationship with the living God and Creator of the universe and to be who He created us to be. I am thankful for salvation (getting to heaven you might say) but I want more I want to know my God personally. This is what I would consider those rewards are refering to. Blessing to you Aaron |
