Good Morning Friends,
“Land that drinks in the rain often falling
on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives
the blessing of God. But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless
and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned. Even though we
speak like this, dear friends, we are confident of better things in your case
-- things that accompany salvation. God is not unjust; he will not forget your
work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue
to help them.” (Hebrews 6:7-10)
God will be no man’s debtor. Every sacrifice
sincerely made in the name of the Lord will be repaid. All fruit that is
produced through a connection to God will be blessed. That is the promise of
Hebrews. God’s memory will not fail. He will remember all of your fruit and all
of your sacrifices.
That doesn’t mean we should produce fruit or
make sacrifices for what we will get out of them. We bear fruit and make
sacrifices out of love, not out of a desire for reward. But, it is still true
that God will reward all that we do for Him out of love.
Jesus made the same promise to the disciples:
“And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or
children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will
inherit eternal life.” (Matthew 19:29)
Serving God is worth it. It’s worth it
because it’s right. It’s worth it because He deserves it. It’s worth it because
He loves us. It’s worth it because He will bless us for it. Serving God is
worth it.
God will be no man’s debtor.
His, by Grace,
Steve
