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 there ye shall seek the Lord your God, and ye shall find him whenever ye shall seek him with all your heart, and with all your soul in your affliction.
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.
Generosidade e provisão
Quem dá com generosidade receberá em abundância. Deus supre todas as necessidades segundo as suas riquezas em glória.

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.
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.
Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord God Almighty shall be with you, as ye have said,
