God’s Reward System.
Sunday, April 9, 2023Key Verse
“Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee” (Matthew 20:14).
Text — Matthew 20:8-16
Message
A reward system refers to all the monetary and non-monetary payments an organization provides for its employees in exchange for the work they do. God has His own reward system and His parameters are different from those of the world. Service for God is done diligently in love without murmuring as God is displeased with such. The Lord rules over His Church and everything should be done decently and in order. We are to submit to His sovereignty.
What are you doing with your life to make a difference in eternity? When you stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ, what will you be able to look back at and say, ‘This is what, by God’s grace, I accomplished for the kingdom of God?’ Those who abide in their calling will receive “Well done, thou good and faithful servant,” and others who abandon their calling will be ashamed when they stand before Christ at His Judgment Seat.
