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; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
29 But from there you will seek Jehovah your God, and you shall find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
24 Therefore I say to you, Everything whatever you ask when you pray, believe that you receive, 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 were faithful over a few things, I will appoint you administrator over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.
23 And whatever you do, do it from the soul, as to the Lord and not to men,24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not faint.
30 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.
6 who will render to each one 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 will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over it will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.
33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what thanks is there to you? For even sinners do the same.
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound for every good work.
18 The wicked does deceitful work, but one sowing righteousness receives honest wages.
4 By humility and the fear of Jehovah are riches and honor and life.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you; tie them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart;4 so you shall find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
16 A mans 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 dawned upon 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, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the full true knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,
5 And hope does not make ashamed, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
32 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 will not ever thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into eternal life.
24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.
14 I press 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.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.
2 Therefore, when you do a deed of mercy, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have praise from men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.
6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
14 Seek good and not evil, that you may live; and thus Jehovah the God of Hosts shall be with you, as you have spoken.
6 I have spread my hands toward You; my soul is 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.
12 I know that there is no good for man, 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 Jehovah your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.
16 Therefore we do not faint. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.
6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will exalt you.
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will remain 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 Jehovah said unto Moses, Come up to Me on the mountain and be there; and I will give you tablets of stone, and the Law and commandments which I have written, to teach them.
