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.
