God Makes Sure That We Are Rewarded

Knowing that for whatever good anyone does, he will receive his reward from the Lord, whether he is slave or free. Ephesians 6:8

   

As we have studied so many times before, the Truth that sets us free is that we are empowered with the Holy Spirit to accomplish all of the required works of the Bible. There is no fear for us whatsoever that we will miss the mark, because in Christ we will perform all of these things. We will receive from the Lord because we are empowered by the Him to do all things. In Christ we will love and respect our elders as He loves and respects them. We will not provoke but encourage and strengthen as Jesus encourages and strengthens. We will respect others and render service in the full power and demonstration of the Holy Spirit that we are now one with.

You will fully recognize them by their fruits. Do people pick grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? Even so, every healthy (sound) tree bears good fruit [worthy of admiration], but the sickly (decaying, worthless) tree bears bad (worthless) fruit. A good (healthy) tree cannot bear bad (worthless) fruit, nor can a bad (diseased) tree bear [excellent fruit [worthy of admiration]. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. Therefore, you will fully know them by their fruits. Matthew 7:16-20

Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me. I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing. John 15:4-5

For the kingdom of God consists of and is based on not talk but power (moral power and excellence of soul). 1 Corinthians 4:20

We are in Christ and one with Him right now. His is the only power that sustains us and because of this great Truth we will fulfill every last commandment and scripture that has been written. When our Father had the word “if” written in the Bible, He had already fulfilled the “if” for us through Christ. If you are truly a part of Christ, there is never any question of if, because the Truth is if is finished or us! So as you read all of the verses that speak of how we have to be, rejoice, because Jesus is our Head and He alone will cause every last Word of our Father to come to pass in our lives. We are more than conquerors through Christ.

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. Romans 8:37
