Jesus Rewards the Actions Done by Faith ㅡ

 “Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” (Revelation 22:12).

In His divine arrangement, through His unmerited favor, the Lord has ordained that good works shall be rewarded.

We are accepted through Christ’s merit alone; and the acts of mercy, the deeds of charity, which we perform, are the fruits of faith; and they become a blessing to us; for men are to be rewarded according to their works.

It is the fragrance of the merit of Christ that makes our good works acceptable to God, and it is grace that enables us to do the works for which He rewards us.

Our works in and of themselves have no merit....

We deserve no thanks from God.

We have only done what it was our duty to do, and our works could not have been performed in the strength of our own sinful natures.

 (God's Amazing Grace 244)
