Eternal Rule and Rewards
By Art Katz0PHP 3:6HEB 10:35HEB 11:8HEB 11:13HEB 12:1REV 20:4REV 20:11Art Katz emphasizes the significance of eternity in the Christian faith, arguing that modern believers often overlook the eternal rewards that come after this life. He highlights the biblical principle that true faith involves waiting for promises that may not be fulfilled in this life, using examples from Hebrews 11 to illustrate how the heroes of faith lived with an eternal perspective. Katz warns against the temptation of seeking immediate gratification and encourages believers to cultivate a faith that looks forward to heavenly rewards, which are proportional to one's service and character in this life. He concludes by urging the church to restore its understanding of eternal rewards, linking the past and future in the continuum of faith.
Walking With God
By David Wilkerson0GEN 5:24ISA 54:17COL 1:13HEB 11:5David Wilkerson emphasizes the profound relationship Enoch had with God, illustrating how Enoch's daily walk with the Lord allowed him to transcend the darkness of his society and ultimately be taken up by God without experiencing death. Enoch's life exemplifies a believer who, despite worldly responsibilities, remained spiritually detached from earthly concerns, focusing instead on a deep faith that pleased God. Wilkerson highlights that walking with God brings rewards such as divine control over our lives, pure light for guidance, and protection from enemies, reinforcing the idea that true faith leads to a transformative relationship with God.
