Lesson 4: Eternal Rewards
February 29 & March 1, 2020
We Receive An INHERITANCE By Believing In Jesus And REWARDS By Living For Jesus
We Are HEIRS Of God
Romans 8:16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. New International Version
The HOLY SPIRIT Is The GUARANTEE Of Our INHERITANCE
Ephesians 1:13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. New International Version
Our ATTITUDE In Serving God
1 Thessalonians 1:2 We give thanks to God always for all of you, continually mentioning you in our prayers; 3 recalling unceasingly before our God and Father your work energized by faith, and your service motivated by love and unwavering hope in [the return of] our Lord Jesus Christ. Amplified Bible
What Will We Be REWARDED For, and What Are The REWARDS?
Revelation 22:12 Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. New International Version
Revelation 22:12 Behold, I (Jesus) am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to the merit of his deeds (earthly works, faithfulness). Amplified Bible
Revelation 22:12 Yes, I’m on my way! I’ll be there soon! I’m bringing my payroll with me. I’ll pay all people in full for their life’s work… The Message
What Can HINDER Our REWARDS
Hebrews 12:1 Since we have such a huge crowd of men of faith watching us from the grandstands, let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back, and especially those sins that wrap themselves so tightly around our feet and trip us up; and let us run with patience the particular race that God has set before us. Living Bible
1 Peter 1:15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” 17 Since you call on a Father who judges each person’s work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear. New International Version
2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. New International Version
