Rewards in Christ.

We love to quote God's promises for our lives. There are promises for this life and the life we will have afterwards. We more often quote the promises for this life. Then for the future one. I love Revelation chapter 1 through 4.

Here are some future promises with conditions. The following are rewards which have been promised to us as believers.

Rev. 2:7 - " ...... To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God."

Rev. 2:10 - Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown.

Rev. 2:17 - " ...... To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it."

Rev. 2:26-27 - " To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations— that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery’—just as I have received authority from my Father."

Rev. 3:4 - "Those who keep himself pure will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy."

Rev. 3:5 - " The one who is victorious will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life, but will acknowledge that name before my Father and his angels."

The theme in all these verses is faithfulness, obedience, righteous living, and perseverance in Christ. The result are numerous rewards in Christ. Christ has paid it all, but we must give our all.
