Eternal reward

We see this " Malachi , " the seventh question , Chapter 3 from 13 to 15 about " the eternal reward . "

13 Then the LORD said: " Your words have been stout against me , you said : ' What have we spoken so much against you?

14 You say , It is vain to serve God , to comply with God commanded , before the Lord of hosts struggling fast , what is gained?

15 Today, we call the proud happy , and those who do evil to build up ; though they test God , but was out of a disaster . '"

Here we again see the people 's problems . They said that serving God in vain. What is gained? From this " Bible "thought eternal reward .

Malachi has been mentioned many times people doubt God's justice, in the second chapter 17 of the people suspected of God is the God of justice , because they feel that the wicked deeds of God are not any violence at that time to punish them , teach Them, so people on the very joy that God is unfair . But this passage from another perspective, the people 's grievances in mind is why? Because God did not line his own good deeds and religious conduct an immediate reward them . Two separate point of view, God is not mentioned in front of the second chapter of the wicked trial , discipline them , they think God is unfair . Chapter Three people said we trip so much good behavior, we follow the law , God did not reward us, so God is unfair. God has so unfair , so line is not fair, you understand their confusion and the question mark it?

This " Bible " the people that serve God in vain , to comply with God commanded , before the Lord of hosts struggling fast what benefit from it? You see us line up so many good , God did not reward us, God is unfair. Since ancient times, such problems are often because of his life living in a number of good behavior inside the line , on expecting a good report , there is a reward , a blessing . This fall into a snare which is our belief that the religion with the religion of good behavior is profit to be able to exchange for the blessings in exchange for certain benefits . This is an idea people . He said that we serve God , we are hard fast , and we abide by the commandment , what benefit from it? So from this perspective , if we thought , in fact, this is a wrong thinking . Why? Religions in exchange for a reward and reward it? We do good , we obey the commandments , we serve God is to get the benefits with it? If we have such a concept , it not in the course of doing business there? Trading is what I give you , you give me what is the deal . Then people say, we give God good behavior, we fast , we abide by the law of God , we serve God , God gives us? This is one of their attitude . So the Prophet took God's mind is made , " Your words have been stout against me . " This is the thinking we have to take .

If faith is a transaction , doing good seek blessings , then the " Bible " by the revelation of faith and religion of all the world is no different. If by that time the people of the blame , compassion, their hearts to reflect , we can learn a lot of homework . When we look at the time the New Testament , we find that God told us that God will give us His Son , what should we do to change ? God said, I give you a son in vain , what can it be to you for such a salvation of grace then ? Basically in the Christian faith is not a sale and trading of God bestowed in vain , so he can not serve God , he live such a life, he asked a blessing of God , asked God to give him some good .

Us to use this " Bible " to learn the mentality of people thinking about . We look at the first point , chapters 15 , people have a dissatisfied , dissatisfied at the time they see the phenomenon . They say " evil people have to build up ; though they test God , but was out of a disaster . " This is the people 's discontent . In fact, there is one point which they accused the words of God, accused of harboring evil God , so they are not satisfied . This phenomenon still exists today , the community they have some wicked evil , or get out of the disaster , you can still enjoy a smooth pass , regardless of the various areas of the business community has the political existence of evil , Christians folder in which , a lot of the frustration many Of complaints , often Christians say , I do so much good , I kept myself , no greed did not steal , what benefit from it? This is the voice of our people now . From " Malachi , " this dialogue, we find that the people of this mentality , " the Bible " is contradicting God , we have to learn the mentality of preparedness why this contradict God ? God have mercy on us , not to fall into the same trap inside , we need a correct point of view of social phenomena.

Secondly , we need three chapters 17-18 learning , learning to establish a proper values . 16 to 18 days last days he mentioned . "At the time of each other to talk about fear of the Lord , the Lord hearkened, and heard , and a book of remembrance before Him , that feared the LORD miss his name. says the Lord of hosts : ' I set the day , they will belong to me, especially Special to me. I will spare them , as a man to serve his son compassion . Then you will go back to the righteous and the wicked , do not serve God and serve God , each other. '" So this " Bible "The fact is faith to help us build a doomsday outlook . He said, you know that God hath set a date , do not just look at what you see now days . That day is what day? 17,18 festival , said: " the righteous and the wicked , do not serve God and serve God's people were out. " God is inside of this day to do . So if our eyes fixed on such a God as inside, we know that God does not cover the present evil . We say that God harboring evil , this is the righteousness of God a great shame .

We return to this " Bible " which , he said that the wicked is short, he was a good , he seemed to be out of a disaster , but he has eternal punishment , such a life is not that we envy it? Benefit from this life the eternal punishment we admire it? We believe in eternal life , eternal life than this life if compared to longer-term it? Therefore, we can grasp the blessings of eternal life, this life than we earn the material is not more important? What to serve God 's people benefit from it? What reward do ? Although we serve God 's people can not price in value , the price measure, if our ministry has a price , then we serve the value of very small , because you serve has a price , in fact, that price is the label You serve the value. If you wait on the price measure, serve no value. " Bible "how to say? Serve God 's people and God has a very close relationship , " the Bible , " said he , " my jewels " , jewels to God , the same as the relationship between father and son . This is the " Bible " to serve God as a supreme supreme value, not price. We believe that this life godly people who serve , he gets the experience of God , he received God's chosen , God has put him out , respectively , which is the highest value in life . So do not let the price tag you get the value of your serve . Jesus how do you say ? Jesus said that if people wait on me, I will respect his father . He said a maximum superior value - God respect . God help us, we serve the process, "God respects us, " this knowledge to our awe , joy to serve Him , not to say that we serve God, what is gained? Do not ask this question. Because God was not pleased. God is willing to give us a father and son relationship so close a relationship , a blessing, may you experience God in serving them next to you , He like your father , He will respect you .

We pray :

Thank you Father , what kind of people we can actually get your respect , Lord, to adjust our minds and hearts so that we know we have salvation from your side in vain , in vain when we are rounding . Lord ah let us know we have you risk your life to serve , we should have a laid down his life for ministry . Every request you add strength to serve you, and our joy and happiness in the Lord 's ministry , and the more the more able to serve close to , the more able to meet you.
