Reward of Faith
ОглавлениеOur rewards are in proportion to the faith we exercise. “According to your faith be it with you.”14 “Whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.”15 There is no limit to the reward. It is ours to measure, and ours to claim. “Prove me…if I will not open you the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.”16
Let us open ourselves as channels, and have complete faith in God, for the battle is the Lord's. It remains to be seen what we can do when we give ourselves unreservedly into the hands of the Father. “And I will pray the Father and He shall give you another comforter, even the Spirit of Truth, who will guide you into all Truth.”17
“And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises…And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.”18
