Paul recognized that any good thing which he did was attributed to the grace of God: “But by the
grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I
laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me” (1 Cor.
15:10). Even when it comes to faithful service for Christ, we are debtors to the grace of God!
Salvation vs. Rewards (continued from page 9)
17) When it comes to rewards, when will my judgment
take place? Answer: At the judgment seat of Christ!
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ;
that every one may receive the things done in his body,
according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (2
Cor. 5:10). “But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost
thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the
judgment seat of Christ” (Romans 14:10).
18) Rewards cost a life of service.
Serving Christ faithfully in a Christ-hating world can be
costly: “Blessed are they which are persecuted for
righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven...Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: FOR GREAT IS
YOUR REWARD in heaven” (Matt. 5:10, 12).
19) Rewards are received at the time of LORIFICATION.
Rewards are something we get at the end.
20) We show our gratitude for rewards by casting our
crowns before our Saviour.
“The four and twenty elders fall down before Him that sat on
the throne, and worship Him that liveth for ever and ever, and
CAST THEIR CROWNS BEFORE THE THRONE, saying,
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and
power: for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure
they are and were created” (Rev. 4:10-11).
17) When it comes to salvation, when will my judgment take
place? Answer: It has already taken place at the cross!
“...the LORD hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all” (Isa. 53:6).
“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust,
that He might bring us to God” (1 Pet. 3:18).Because of this fact,
the Lord assures the true believer that he will not come into
condemnation or judgment (see John 5:24; Romans 8:1).
18) Salvation costs nothing.
“Ho, every one that thirsteth,
come ye to the waters, and he
that hath no money; come ye,
buy, and eat; yea, come, buy
wine and milk WITHOUT
MONEY and WITHOUT
PRICE” (Isa. 55:1).
19) Salvation is received at the time of JUSTIFICATION.
Salvation is something we get at the beginning.
20) We show our gratitude for salvation by faithful service.
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye
present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this
world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that
ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will
of God” (Romans 12:1-2).
The End
For the wages of sin is
death; but the gift of
God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Romans 6:23
