Bible Note: 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 |
