Are you going to get any rewards?

As we continue on in Matthew 16:24-27. Today we will look at the last part of theses verses:



Matthew 16:27

27 For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.



Well in previous lessons were asked "what would we give in exchange for our souls?". That was a very thought provoking question. Today we are told Jesus one day will come in all his glory along with His angles. Oh what a day that will be. It will be so exciting for those who have trusted in Christ. For those who haven't well it will be horrible. This verse also tells us that when Jesus comes he will also reward according to each ones works. Let me remind you that your work doesn't get you to heaven. Only faith in Jesus Christ gets you to heaven. The rewards are going to be given for your service to Christ after you have received Him as Lord and Savior of your life. You will be rewarded for things like sharing the gospel to the lost, loving others, self-control, giving out of your abundance, faithfulness to the Word of God, tithing, and many other things found in the Word of God. The book of James also tells us that our work for the Lord proves our faith. So let me ask you this morning if Jesus came right now would you be receiving any rewards? Secondly, would there be any proof of your faith????



I can hardly wait for the return of Christ...how about you???
