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.
6 But without faith [it is] impossible to please [Him], for he who comes to God must believe that He is and [that] He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
12 Blessed [is] the man who endures temptation, because having been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, [who] gives to all liberally and with no reproach, and it shall be given to him.
29 But if you shall seek the LORD your God from there, you shall find [Him], if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
7 Ask and it shall be given to you; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you.
24 Therefore I say to you, All things, whatever you ask, praying, believe that you shall receive [them], and it will be to you.
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.
21 His lord said to him, Well [done], good and faithful servant! You have been faithful over a few things; I will [make] you [ruler] over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.
23 And whatever you do, do [it] heartily, as to the Lord and not to men;24 knowing that from the Lord you shall receive the reward of the inheritance. For you serve [the] Lord Christ.
58 So that, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not without fruit in the Lord.
9 But we should not lose heart in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if [we] do not faint.
30 But many [who are] first shall be last; and the last [shall be] first.
6 who will render to each according to his works;
Generosidade e provisão
Quem dá com generosidade receberá em abundância. Deus supre todas as necessidades segundo as suas riquezas em glória.
38 Give, and it shall be given to you, good measure pressed down and shaken together and running over, they shall give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you measure, it shall be measured to you again.
33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what thanks do you have? For sinners also do the same.
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. You have received freely, freely give.
8 And God [is] able to make all grace abound toward you, that in everything, always having all self-sufficiency, you may abound to every good work;
18 The wicked makes a deceitful wage; but one sowing righteousness [has] a sure reward.
4 By humility [and] the fear of the LORD [are] riches and honor and life.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you; tie them around your neck; write them upon the tablet of your heart;4 and you shall find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
16 A man's gift makes room 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.
9 But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.
18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what is the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
3 according as His divine power has given to us all things that [pertain] to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who has called us to glory and virtue,
5 And hope does not make [us] ashamed, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through [the] Holy Spirit given to us.
32 Truly [He] who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst, but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
24 Before now you have asked nothing in My name; ask and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.
7 But I tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you. But if I depart, I will send Him to you.
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God 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.
6 Blessed [are] they who hunger and thirst after righteousness! For they shall be filled.
2 Therefore when you do [your] merciful deeds, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory from men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.
6 But you, when you pray, enter into your room. And shutting your door, pray to your Father in secret; and your Father who sees in secret shall reward you openly.
14 Seek good and not evil, that you may live; and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as you have spoken.
6 I stretch forth my hands to You; my soul [thirsts] after You like a thirsty 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.
12 I know that [there is] no good in them, but to rejoice and to do good in his life.13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labor, it [is] the gift of God.
18 Behold that which I have seen. [it is] good and right for one to eat and to drink, and to see good in all his labor that he labors under the sun all the days of his life, which God gives him; for it [is] his portion.
19 Also every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor; this [is] the gift of God.
33 You shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God has commanded you so that you may live and that good [may be] to you, and you may make [your] days longer in the land which you shall possess.
16 For this cause we do not faint; but though our outward man perishes, yet the inward [man] is being renewed day by day.
6 Therefore be humbled under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you in due time,
10 Be humbled before the Lord, and He will lift you up.
23 For the wages of sin [is] death, but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
27 But the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as His anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true and no lie, and as He has taught you, abide in Him.
32 And we are His witnesses of these things. And [so] also [is] the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.
12 And the LORD said to Moses, Come up to Me in the mountain, and be there. And I will give you tablets of stone, and the law, and commandments which I have written, so that you may teach them.
