Rewards for works







"For the Son of Adam (Messiah) is going to come in the esteem of His Father with His messengers (Angels), and then He shall reward each according to his work - Matthew 16:27.

"And he who falls on this stone shall be broken, but on whomever it falls, he shall be pulverised (reduce to fine particles, crush, crumble, turn to dust) - Matthew 21:44.

And loving-commitment is Yours, O Yahuah (Heavenly Father); for You reward each one according to his work - Psalms 62:12.











If you say, "See, we did not know this," would not He (Father) who weighs the hearts discern it? (Father knows your heart) He who watches over your life, would He not know it? And shall He not repay man according to his work? - Proverbs 24:12.

"Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the tombs shall hear His voice, and shall come forth - those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have practiced evil matters, to a resurrection of judgment - John 5:28-29.














For by favor (grace) you have been saved, through belief, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of Elohim, it is not by works, so that no one should boast (pride, self-satisfaction). For we are His workmanship, created in Messiah Yahusha unto good works, which Elohim prepared beforehand that we should walk in them - Ephesians 2:8-10.
















We should not use this gift that Messiah gives us to be prideful, example looking down at people or thinking we are better than other people, we should be servants, not use people to serve us.

So we also make it our aim to be well-pleasing to Him, whether being at home, or being away from home. For we all have to appear before the judgment seat of Messiah, in order for each one to receive according to what he has done in the body, weather good or evil - 2 Corinthians 5:9-10.

Show yourself to them an example of good works in all matters - Titus 2:7.













Our Saviour Yahusha Messiah, who gave Himself for us, to redeem us from all lawlessness and to cleanse for Himself a people, His own possession, ardent (passionate) for good works - Titus 2:13-14.
 
My brothers, what use is it for anyone to say he has belief  but does not have works? This belief is unable to save him. And if a brother or sister is naked and in need of daily food, but one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warned and be filled," but you do not give them the bodily needs, what use is it? So also belief, if it does not have works, is in itself dead - James 2:14-17.


"And see, I (Messiah) am coming speedily, and My  reward is with Me, to give to each according to his work - Revelation 22:12.

There will be rewards for works of belief. Walking the walk.
