Day 4~ Rewards

Hi :)

So today we talked about REWARDS... what is a reward? A reward is a fair return for either good or bad behavior. Fair return, meaning if you kill someone your reward should be death, if you share a cookie your reward should be a cookie! haha... Does God give us fair rewards? For me this is a difficult question to answer. If you are a Christian, you don't get a fair reward- you get a hugely generous reward! You receive

forgiveness and eternal life.

But for those who don't... you get a very fair reward... yikes! ;)

The verse we talked about today was: "Don't be deceived: God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows he will also reap, because the one who sows to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows in the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. So we must not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don't give up." ~Galatians 6:7-9. I really like this verse, it's encouraging! God won't miss any good we do, so we ca

n do good unnoticed. On the flip side, we can do evil unnoticed and God will still know. But! We must never give up. I like the visual of the reaping and sowing, it feels good to think we can sow and never see the product until it is time to reap.

So my brothers and sisters in Christ, let us not give up! Let us never back down. Instead may we all sow in the Spirit that one day our rewards will be good and hugely unfair... and 100 % more then we sowed. Take encouragement from that thought.

In Christ,
