God will reward every man according to their deeds. The wages of sin is death and God is
a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. The apostle Paul wrote in Romans 2:5:”God,
6who WILL RENDER TO EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS: 7to those who by perseverance in
doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; 8but to those who are selfishly
ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. 9There
will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first
and also of the Greek, 10but glory and honor and peace to every man who does good, to the
Jew first and also to the Greek. 11FOR THERE IS NO PARTIALITY WITH GOD.”
God knows every deed, every thought, everything that we do. He is watching us and we will
all be rewarded according to what we have done. Every branch in Christ, that does not
bear fruit, good fruit, will get cut off and burned. We read in John 15 the words of Jesus,
John 15:1“ I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2“ Every branch in Me
that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it,
that it may bear more fruit. 4“ Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear
fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
5“ I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears
much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing. 6“ IF ANYONE DOES NOT ABIDE IN ME, HE IS
THROWN AWAY AS A BRANCH, AND DRIES UP; AND THEY GATHER THEM, AND CAST THEM INTO THE FIRE,
AND THEY ARE BURNED.” If we do not remain IN CHRIST then we are
cut off, thrown into the fire. Without Jesus we can do nothing. We will be rewarded by
our deeds. We now have the opportunity to mend our ways and make sure that we receive
a good reward. What reward are we expecting from God? Eternal life or eternal damnation
because we will be judged by our DEEDS. May Jesus bless you.
