| Faithful Sayings — Part 3 |
| The Reward for Faithfulness |
| “It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with Him, we shall also live with Him: If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him: if we deny Him, He also will deny us: If we believe not, yet He abideth faithful: He cannot deny Himself:” (2 Timothy 2:11-13). |
| The Apostle Paul had full assurance that if he had given up anything in this life to follow and serve the Lord, there was a day coming when there would be a reward, and he would reign with Christ in His kingdom. Later on, he encourages Timothy, and us, by stating: “Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing” (2 Timothy 4:8). |
| This would encourage us to own Christ as our Lord before the world, to be faithful to Him in spite of the reproach or suffering that might result, and above all to count on His faithfulness. The reward is not here in this world, but, if we work diligently and leave the results with Him, all will be commended and rewarded when we get to heaven. |
