MONTHLY DEVOTIONAL FOR 12th OCTOBER

THE 12th OF ​OCTOBER

GOD’S REWARDS ARE JUST

Who (God) “will render to each one according to his deeds”: eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, – Romans 2:6-8

God is love, but He is just too. He never forces anyone to spend eternity in heaven against their will. We cannot choose to live like hell, be Christians in name only and expect to go to heaven when we leave this earth. God will reward each person according to what they have in their hearts, how they live and whom they obey. The Lord will give the gift of eternal life in heaven, to every person who sincerely loves Him and seeks heavenly glory, honor and everlasting life, by persistence in staying true to their faith complete with good works.

On the other hand, those who have selfish ambitions, seeking to accomplish their own plans, lusts and desires, who obey unrighteousness and not the truth, if they will not repent and change, will have to face God’s indignation and wrath. If we are not on the narrow path, we better check our lives while we still have time to repent, renounce evil, ask God to forgive our sins and start to live right for Him. For more on this subject you may read the article: “Return to the Lord.”

SUGGESTED PRAYER

God our Father, You are Love but You are Just too. Please help me never forget that in Your justice, You reward my labour according to what real and true value they have, judging by my sincerity and integrity while performing them. Please help me to follow Jesus’ example in all I do, to seek righteousness, honor, glory and always keep heaven as my goal. Please help me to obey Your Word and fulfill Your will, every day of my life. In the Name of Jesus I pray. Amen
