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."
He considers them because
of the opportunity we have now.(2Corinthians
6:2).and
that's eternal life and a position in it:.1John
5:20.
While you are here on Earth
you might as well do something good to get a reward, rather than something
bad to harm another and get you into trouble.
God wants each of us to receive
the best we deserve. God gave us gifts
to use and one of them is money. If so, you may say, well, where is it?
It's
here!
According to what we do with
what we have to do with, it is
recorded.
So, what to do? Become better
than you now are:.2Peter
3:18. Galatians 5:22. Why?
James
1:12 "...he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised
to them that love him." Genesis
15:1 "...the word of the
Lord came...saying...I am your shield and your exceeding great reward."

2:9 "But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither
has entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for

for you serve Christ."
Job
7:17,18 "What is man, that you should magnify him? And that you should
set your 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."

to give, but it is given to them for
whom
it is prepared.".And
it is the Father who determines
this:.Matthew

life."

in the first resurrection on such the second

and shall reign with him a thousand years."
Matthew
16:27 "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."
And then what? Well, you
are creators also,
so, once you've finished learning even more, what will you do?.1Corinthinans
2:9.
Daniel
12:3 "And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament
and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever."
Revelation
1:5,6 "And from Emmanuel the 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 forever
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.(where
was He back then in the Old Testament?.Zechariah
14:4; and now?),
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 Emmanuel the 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;

Creator promises to freely
give us all things:.Matthew

8:32. All things are His to give:.1Corinthians
10:26.
Isaiah
55:1 "Ho, every one that thirsts, come to the waters and he that has
no money, come and buy and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money
and without price."
The spiritual individual
of love.(called
'Christian' in the New Testament in the Holy Bible).can
have massive 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 your obedience I wrote unto you, knowing
that you 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,
if you ask:.Philemon
1:25. You 'drive the car'. He 'puts the fuel in':.1Corinthians
3:9,10 "For we are laborers 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.
