Great is your reward in heaven! – Thomas Brooks

“Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with Me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.” Revelation 22:12

Though God does not reward men simply for their works, namely, for the merit of them yet He rewards according to their works.

“He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time. He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward.” Hebrews 11:25-26.

Keep your eye upon the recompense of reward, as Moses did. This will work you
(1.) To walk more holily, humbly, thankfully;
(2.) To live more cheerfully and comfortably;
(3.) To suffer more patiently, freely, resolutely;
(4.) To fight against the world, the flesh, and the devil more valiantly;
(5.) To withstand temptations more steadfastly and strongly;
(6.) To be contented with a little;
(7.) To leave the world, relations, and friends more willingly;
(8.) And to embrace death more joyfully.

A Christian will never repent of all the hard things that he has suffered for Christ or His truth. Every one of his sufferings shall be a sparkling jewel to give a luster to his crown of glory.

Blessed are you when men hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven!” Luke 6:22-23

O Christians, all your sufferings will certainly increase your future glory! Every affliction, every persecution, will add to your heavenly glory! God will richly reward you for every tear, for every sigh, for every groan, for every hazard, and for every hardship that you have met with, in the way of your duty.
