It is an undeniable truth that heaven is reward based system and as for how all depends on GOD. It is written in Heb:11:6: But without faith it is impossible to please him, those who come to GOD must first know that he is and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. What ever you do for GOD has a reward attached to it and he does not forget.
Hezekiah pleaded with GOD when he was told to put his house in order, for he was dying. He then cried to GOD reminding him what he did for his name and immediately GOD extended his life. You too can remind GOD if you feel like GOD has forgotten you. It is written in Heb:6:10: For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which you have showed toward his name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and still do minister. Sometimes all we got to do is remind GOD even our tithes we can remind Him of his promises attached to tithe in Malachi 3:10-12.
It is a well established truth that to have access to heaven all we have to do is believe. GOD did not complicate it at all he made it simple. Of course we have pastors who are afraid to tell people the truth thinking people will abuse the grace of GOD. The fact is some people abuse the grace of GOD. But be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap Ga: 6:7.
We can not fool GOD brothers and sisters why do you think he allows certain trials in our life. You know when there is an alter call people go and receive Christ. Then he comes and proves if your faith is genuine or just mere talk. Anyone can claim to follow Christ, but do we really follow Christ. JESUS said I know that you are my follower if you obey my commands. Meaning if we do not obey JESUS then we are wasting our time.
You know nowadays preachers of the gospel of grace have sprung up for it is the message that is selling. Do not get me wrong there is truth in it but sometimes it lacks depth. Whether we like it or not as a Christians works are forever part of us. Before salvation works are not necessary only faith. But after you are saved then you have to add works to your faith period.
In Revelation 2:23b JESUS says I am he which searches the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. Notice he will reward us according to our works, which makes our works part of our salvation package. The question is what works are we on about, here is the distinction definitely not works of the law but works of love. Putting it simply how much love did you show GOD and man. If you love fellow man you will provide for them, feed, support those that are struggling showing them mercy. If you love GOD you will obey his commands and trust him with your life. You will advance his gospel you will visit the sick visit prisoners and all other things that GOD will lay on your heart.
It is written in Eph:2:10: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ
Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in
them. Every born again Christian is meant to be GODS workmanship doing the
works that Christ ought to be doing if he was living here on earth. We are
meant to be the light that shines in this world. The question we need to be asking ourselves is if I were Christ in this situation what will I do? If you can honestly answer this question then follow through I am sure we will have a better world.
It is time the church goes
deeper into the word yet we are stack with the baby milk. The writer of Hebrews put it in Heb 6:1-2 Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, instruction about cleansing rites, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. The gospel of grace has now sprung up with ministries just banging on about the elementary basics. Since most Christians barely read the bible, it is like a new craze yet it has been in the bible for thousands of years. We need to go deeper into the word I plead with you people read the bible that way we can not be tossed to and fro.Please get deeper in the word.
