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 Him, for the one who comes to God must believe that He exists, and that He proves to be One who rewards those who seek Him.
Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul.
Prayer and the Golden Rule
"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
Therefore, I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted 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.
His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter the joy of your master.’
Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord and not for people, knowing that it is from the Lord that you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.
Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be firm, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
Let’s not become discouraged in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not become weary.
But many who are first will be last; and the last, first.
who will repay each person 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. They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return."
And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those with leprosy, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.
And God is able to make all grace overflow to you, so that, always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed;
A wicked person earns deceptive wages,
But one who sows righteousness gets a true reward.
The reward of humility andthe fear of the Lord
Are riches, honor, and life.
Do not let kindness and truth leave you;
Bind them around your neck,
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
So you will find favor and a good reputation
In the sight of God and man.
A person’s gift makes room for him
And brings him before great people.
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.
but just as it is written:
"Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard,
And which have not entered the human heart,
All that God has prepared for those who love Him."
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
for His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.
and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?
but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never be thirsty; but the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up to eternal life."
Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.
But I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I am leaving; for if I do not leave, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call 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.
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
"So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, so that they will be praised by people. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.
But as for you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door, and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.
Seek good and not evil, so that you may live;
And so may the Lord God of armies be with you,
Just as you have said!
I spread out my hands to You;
My soul longs for You, like a weary 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 to do good in one’s lifetime; moreover, that every person who eats and drinks sees good in all his labor—this is the gift of God.
Here is what I have seen to be good and fitting: to eat, to drink, and enjoy oneself in all one’s labor in which he labors under the sun during the few years of his life which God has given him; for this is his reward.
Furthermore, as for every person to whom God has given riches and wealth, He has also given him the opportunity to enjoy them and to receive his reward and rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God.
You shall walk entirely in the way which the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and that it may be well for you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you will possess.
Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer person is decaying, yet our inner person is being renewed day by day.
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you at the proper time,
Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.
For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him remains in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you remain in Him.
And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him."
Now the Lord said to Moses, "Come up to Me on the mountain and stay there, and I will give you the stone tablets with the Law and the commandments which I have written for their instruction."
