And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. Colossians 3:23
And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. Colossians 3:23
We are called to do good works on this earth that will render many heavenly rewards! According to scripture we will one day stand before the "Judgment Seat of Christ" and be rewarded for what we did in the body, or we will suffer loss seeing our fleshly works burned up!
What we do in the Spirit will be blessed, but what we try to do in the flesh will ultimately be cursed! As the scripture states whatever we do, we do it heartily or from the heart for the Lord and not for fleshly gain! James 1:27 says that pure and undefiled religion is visiting orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained from the world!
God has given us faith to perform spiritual works for the kingdom and to edify the body of Christ as we reach out to those who are lost and in need! Jesus was our example of good works, healing the sick, casting out demons and raising the dead as well as feeding the poor. We should follow His lead as we also do good works!
If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus, also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. James 2:14-17
