Our real reward - evangelical messages of God's word.

Let's think a bit:

Does a person who is very blessed by God that worketh righteousness, that does not hurt anyone, who loves God, who fears God, who loves God and moreover is completely surrounded and protected by force and God's power can suffer from some sort of evil attack?

What do you think?

Some think not, because they think that because someone is in communion with the Most High God, that alone is already a guarantee that the devil not look against that person's life.

Others feel that attacks can happen yes, because we live in a world of sin are also subject to pass through many aches and pains, even when we were in communion with our Lord and Sovereign God.

Let's see a biblical example that has everything to do with today's message.


Job 1

1 In the land of Uz there lived a man named Job was blameless and upright; feared God and shunned evil doing.
2 He had seven sons and three daughters
3 and had seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys, and had a lot of people at your service. He was the richest man in the east.
4 His sons used to give banquets at home, one at a time, and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
5 Completed a period of feasting, Job sent to call them and made to purify themselves. At dawn he offered a burnt offering in favor of each of them, for he thought: "Perhaps my children have, deep inside, sinned and cursed God." This was the constant practice of Job

The first proof

6 One day the angels came to present themselves to the Lord, and Satan also came with them.
7 The LORD said to Satan, "Where are you from?" Satan answered the LORD, "From roam the land and walk through it."
8 And the Lord said to Satan, "noticed in my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him, blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil."
9 "Does Job has no reason to fear God?" Answered Satan.
10 "Do not you put a fence around him, his family and everything he has? Thyself hast blessed everything he does, so that their flocks are scattered throughout the land.
11 But stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he surely curse you to your face. "
12 The Lord said to Satan: "Well, everything he has is in your hands, just do not touch it." So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.
13 One day when the sons and daughters of Job were feasting, eating and drinking wine at the oldest brother's house,
14 a messenger came to Job said, "The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing nearby,
15 when the Sabeans attacked and carried them away. Employees killed with the sword, and I was the only one who escaped to tell you! "
16 While he was still speaking, another messenger arrived and said: "The fire of God fell from heaven and burned down the sheep and the servants, and I was the only one who escaped to tell you!"
17 While he was still speaking, another messenger arrived and said, "Chaldeans came in three bands, attacked the camels and took them away. Employees killed with the sword, and I was the only one who escaped to tell you!"
18 While he was still speaking, yet another messenger came and said, "Your sons and daughters were feasting, eating and drinking wine at the oldest brother's house,
19 when, suddenly, a strong wind came from the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, which collapsed. They died, and I was the only one who escaped to tell you! "
20 At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he bowed himself with his face to the ground in worship
21 and said: "I came out naked from my mother's womb, and naked shall I depart. The Lord gave, the Lord took him, blessed be the name of the Lord."
22 In all this Job did not sin and not blamed God for anything.



Job 2 - The second test

1 On another day the angels came to present themselves to the Lord, and Satan also came with them to present themselves.
2 The LORD said to Satan, "Where are you from?" Satan answered the LORD, "From roam the land and walk through it."
3 And the Lord said to Satan, "noticed in my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him, blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil. Righteous He remains, though you incited me against him there to ruin him without cause. "
4 "Skin for skin!" Answered Satan. "A man will give all he has for his life.
5 Stretch out your hand and strike his flesh and his bones, and he surely curse you to your face. "
6 The LORD said to Satan: "Well, he is in your hands, only spare his life."
7 So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord and afflicted Job with loathsome sores from the soles of the feet to the top of the head.
8 Then Job took a piece of broken crockery and he rasped, sitting among the ashes.
9 Then his wife said to him, "You still maintains its integrity? Curse God and die!"
10 He replied, "You talk like a foolish. Shall we receive good given by God, and not evil?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

As we can see, even someone walking with God, loving God and doing everything right, this is no guarantee that any of that person's life will be free of problems and trials.
One wonders:
Whoa! Why did God let this happen?
We do not know.
Some people say that all this happened in the life of Job, because he was afraid, by that faith he had was very small and weak, whatnot. The fact is that if there is anyone who knows why or the reason why everything happened the way they happened is our God Almighty. That only He knows. And anyone else. Therefore, it is not for us to stay probing this or that or say that theories do not concern us. Amen!
That's it!
What we must keep in our hearts is that while we are living here in this world, yes we are subject to feel a lot of pain and suffering. We must never forget that the Lord Jesus Christ Himself told us that one who is sent is not greater than the One who sent him.
The religious world wants to teach us something different. Some people live out there teaching that because of being in walking with the Lord Jesus Christ, they will be immune to any kind of pain or suffering. This is not true. One need only look to our glorious Lord Jesus and we will see that the story is not so.
Yes there is a reward for those who decide to follow the Lord Jesus Christ. He even promised us. What is it?
A nice house?
An imported car?
A job and a salary of dreams?
A good marriage?
Business?
Lots of money?
Health iron?
Family happy and blessed?
Success?
Fame?
Power?

It may be that someone may receive from God some things mentioned above. It was exactly the case of Job in his time, Job had it all. He was the man the more prosperous east.
But our reward is far greater than anything that we have already mentioned.
Watch just:
And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life. - Matthew 19:29
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. - 2 Corinthians 4:17
And this is the promise that he made us: eternal life. - 1 John 2:25
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him. "- John 3:36
"I assure you: Whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned, but has passed from death to life. -
John 5:24
Because the will of my Father, that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. "- John 6:40
I give them eternal life and they shall never perish, and no one can snatch them out of my hand. - John 10:28
If we love our God above all things, especially about money, we will receive our reward more:

Eternal life. - 1 John 2:25

Glory to God! Stay in the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ.
