"Sword of the Covenant"
Mark Andrews

| | | | | | Never-Ending Points of Light - Ken Barnes
... Yes, says the Spirit, they are blessed indeed, for they will rest from their labors; for their good deeds follow them!" Revelation 14:13b NASB
The voice in the book of Revelation tells us that the good deeds in this life follow us into the next. A good deed is like a point of light created in the universe, it continues to shine through eons of time.
Of course we know that our right standing with God is not dependent on weighing our good works against our bad. It is a free gift. But the Bible does speak about eternal rewards. In 2 Corinthians 5: 10 (NASB) it says, "...so that one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad." There is a day coming where God will set the record straight and rewards will be given based on divine justice.
Yes, it does seem like in this world that the righteous sometimes seem to end up on the short end of the stick. In Psalms 73 the psalmist seems to get tripped up a bit about this. He laments over the prosperity of the wicked and the chastisement of the innocent, until he sees the big picture, "Then I perceived their end" Psalm 73:7b. There is a day of reckoning approaching when God will judge our actions based on the thoughts and the intentions of our hearts. Then all those with servant hearts will receive their imperishable crowns.
There is one difference between the luminosity created in the universe and the glow of God's approval. Physical illumination from the moment of creation starts to dim, but God's luminescence never diminishes. So look up my dear servants of Christ and see your good deeds as never-ending points of light.

As we help you become the writer God has called you to be, you help us spread the gospel in over 230 countries online. Here is a quote from a reader who accepted Jesus on FaithWriters. His life will never be the same because one writer “put pen to paper” and shared it.
‘I literally was transformed and totally healed in an instant upon trusting in Jesus as my lord and savior. The love, joy, light, and peace I feel is way more than words or thoughts can express. This new life of being a true Christian, who is saved, Spirit-filled, born-again, fully and truly converted by the living holy gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, is going to carry my being further than anyone could ever imagine. It will be the most blessed, rewarding, and holy life in the Lord, which I have embarked upon now.’” Roger P. |
