 THE LINK BETWEEN GRACE AND REWARD

TEXT: PHIL. 2:13

''For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure''

God's work is done with God's power; no reward awaits any work that is done without His assistance: He puts crown only on the head of that work which is done by Him through human instrument. So, whoever desires eternal reward, must see to it that he labours, not with fleshly strength, but by the power of God. Human strength and arms of flesh cannot give Him rewardable services. And whatever He does not give a man grace for, He does not chide him for it, if not done: for He is not a hard man, reaping where He has not sown, and gathering where He has not strawed: Matt. 25:24; He gives whatever He requires of man. In short, He is the one that helps us to both will and work that which is pleasant to Him. He needed the world to pay for her sin by the death of one of her sons: He went ahead and gave the earth a spotless man with the purest humanity, who took His wrath for all of mankind. He was in Christ reconciling the whole world unto Himself. Deep calls to deep; face answers to face in a stable pool of water: only God can please Himself in the believers. So, when He rewards, He rewards, in reality, His grace, power, influence and image in us. This eternal truth must be grasped, if eternal reward will be ours. Seek, oh saints, to labour by and in His strength alone! May God grant us insight!
