Recompensa
Deus recompensa os que o buscam com fé. A Bíblia está repleta de promessas de recompensa para os fiéis, os generosos, os perseverantes e os que servem ao Senhor de todo coração.
Deus recompensa a fé
Sem fé é impossível agradar a Deus, porque quem dele se aproxima precisa crer que Ele existe e recompensa os que o buscam diligentemente.
And without faith it is impossible to please God. For anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.
Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.
Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
But if from there you will seek the LORD your God, you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
Recompensa pelo serviço
O Senhor vê cada ato de fidelidade e promete galardão aos que servem com dedicação. O servo bom e fiel será honrado.
His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’
Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, as for the Lord and not for men, because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and immovable. Always excel in the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.[’’]
God "will repay each one according to his deeds."
Generosidade e provisão
Quem dá com generosidade receberá em abundância. Deus supre todas as necessidades segundo as suas riquezas em glória.
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you."
If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things, at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
The wicked man earns an empty wage,
but he who sows righteousness reaps a true reward.
The rewards of humility and the fear of the LORD
are wealth and honor and life.
Never let loving devotion or faithfulness leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
Then you will find favor and high regard
in the sight of God and man.
A man’s gift opens doors for him,
and brings him before great men.
O que Deus reservou para os seus
Olhos não viram, ouvidos não ouviram o que Deus preparou para os que o amam. Suas recompensas eternas superam toda imaginação.
Rather, as it is written:
"No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
no heart has imagined,
what God has prepared for those who love Him."
I ask that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know the hope of His calling, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints,
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.
And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.
He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, freely give us all things?
But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a fount of water springing up to eternal life."
Until now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.
But I tell you the truth, it is for your benefit that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.
I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus.
Buscar, pedir, perseverar
Jesus ensinou: pedi e recebereis, buscai e achareis. Deus se alegra em dar boas dádivas aos seus filhos que pedem com fé.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.
But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Seek good, not evil,
so that you may live.
And the LORD, the God of Hosts,
will be with you, as you have claimed.
I stretch out my hands to You;
my soul thirsts for You like a parched land.
Selah
Contentamento e eternidade
A verdadeira recompensa está na vida que Deus dá. O presente do trabalho, a satisfação no labor e a alegria no Senhor são dádivas de Deus.
I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and do good while they live, and also that every man should eat and drink and find satisfaction in all his labor — this is the gift of God.
Here is what I have seen to be good and fitting: to eat and drink, and to find satisfaction in all the labor one does under the sun during the few days of life that God has given him — for this is his lot.
Furthermore, God has given riches and wealth to every man, and He has enabled him to enjoy them, to accept his lot, and to rejoice in his labor. This is a gift from God.
You must walk in all the ways that the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, yet our inner self is being renewed day by day.
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you.
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
And as for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But just as His true and genuine anointing teaches you about all things, so remain in Him as you have been taught.
We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him."
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Come up to Me on the mountain and stay here, so that I may give you the tablets of stone, with the law and commandments I have written for their instruction."
