The Righteous Will Be Rewarded By Their Works Of Love
The righteous will be rewarded by their works of love.
The author said, “… by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.” ~~ Hebrews 13:1
God rewards those who do works out of love and selfless dedication. Even as they do not seek a reward for themselves or to be noticed, God rewards them at a time when they least expect it.
People do good works for various reasons, but their persistence and faithfulness eventually reveal their motives and intentions. If the purpose of their work is to gain reward and attention their persistence may not endure. But if their work arises out of love, they will continue to contribute without being incentivized. However, God will in His time fulfill the desires of the faithful. The psalmist urges believers to be patient and faithful in doing good. For in due time believers will reap a harvest.
Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart… For evildoers will be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land. Psalm 37:3-4,9.
