- Foundational Teaching #8 - We are rewarded by our works.
- Jeremiah 17:10... Matthew 16:27... Revelation 22:12.... and several more places in the Word.
Good... or bad.
Truth... or lie.
Multiplied....
Many people say they believe/ trust IN God.... but they do not DO what He said/ says.
They do not BELIEVE/ TRUST God.
Christ's blood... prepares us for eternal life.
His Words/ laws of success... prepare us for life on earth and teach us how the Kingdom operates.
Salvation... is a gift.
The gift had to first be bought.
Rewards, on the other hand... are based on what we do..... whether we are obedient... or we are disobedient (Deuteronomy 28 & Leviticus 26).
God has already decided the rewards for each.
Many confuse salvation... with rewards.
They think they are not saved because of what they do or don't do.
They are two.... totally different subjects.
The main reason I hear a lot is... people do not think they are saved because... they don't go to church (FT#1). I have a pretty good idea where they get this from.
They also believe they are going to receive many rewards... just because they ARE saved.
These people ought to read... just a little bit. :-)
A good place to start... would be in Matthew 25... and Luke 19.
Temporary works receive temporary rewards.
Eternal works receive... eternal rewards. (FT#14)
As always... see comments after videos. Suggested Study always listed in last comment.

Many people do not have an eternal vision/ perspective (Matt. 16:23-27.... Rev. 22:12)... because of the WAY we have been taught.
They can see only 7-30-60 days in front of their face because that is when their bills are due... or the next party/ weekend is.
I'm all for a party... ask anyone who knows me... so is my God... but NOT at the expense of my family's financial future... or my rewards.
There IS least... and greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Which do you want to be?
We are told to lay up treasures in heaven... while we are on earth.
Christ says it like this, "Do not work for food that spoils (temporary)... but for food that endures to eternal life (residual) (3rd youtube video)."
How are you gonna do that?
Specifically??
By the Word??
Just like when a person works a week and gets a paycheck... when we work in the vineyard we also receive wages.
The difference is... one is temporary/ active... the other is eternal/residual. Fruit grows from the root (FGFTR). (FT#14 & #17)
You cannot plant corn... and get tomatoes. :-)
People are so caught up in their "Job Title" (status)... that they do not know how to do the work of the Lord.
The P's and S's had this same problem.
Status is for broke people, buying things they cannot afford... to impress people they don't even like.
Temporary works... receive temporary paychecks and that... is ALL.
Eternal works receive... eternal paychecks.
I had a guy the other day ask me, "Does this thing just go on and on and on?"
I said, "Yeah Yeah Yeah." :-)
Activity / Busy-ness... has NOTHING to do with... PRODUCTIVITY.
Many who are saved... are completely unproductive for the kingdom... as well as disobedient to His principles.
This is why they are suffering.... in the five areas of life.
(FAOL - FT #10 & 2nd Foundational Photo).
Many who are saved will have no rewards when they get home... because they are working for food that spoils... and because they have not planted anything here.... except weeds.
If they are saved... they will fall across the gate... with the smell of smoke still on them.
We are to teach people how to prosper in the five areas of life... by the Word of God.
Many don't know how... and they cannot do what they do not know (FT#4).
Our country is cursed because of this and it will get worse until God is taught... and His ways are followed (1st youtube video - Good Ground... Or Not).
I don't know about you... but when He showed me this... it scared the shhiiii... crap outta me.
The fear of the Lord... is the BEGINNING of Wisdom.
The end of Wisdom... is LOVE.
Christ says if you love me... you will obey Me. - John 15
It is the 1st... and greatest commandment.
Many accept the gift... but they do not want to accept the responsibility that comes with the gift.
All they want... is "fire insurance".
Salvation is just the beginning.
It is like bringing a newborn baby home from the hospital.
We do not throw the baby in the corner and say, "feed yourself... burp yourself... clothe yourself".
But sadly... too often that is exactly what happens... to newborn Christians.
I hear people say all the time, "You can't take it with you when you die."
That is a flat out bold-faced lie... from the pit of hell.
You take your DEEDS with you.
If not... how can you be rewarded?
The Word says in Proverbs 13, "The good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children... but the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous."
Most are only leaving them a buncha debt... which is under the curse (Deut. 28).
Prosperity is on the Right hand side of the zero... not the left (FT#19).
- —— 0 —— +.
Being righteous means you do the "right" things... by the Word of God.... how He commands them done.
That is why God is righteous.
He always does.... the RIGHT thing.
If you do not know your purpose... but you have been feeling the pull of God as you have been studying... feel free to contact me.
I have an option for you.
There are only two... option A... and option B.
The Kingdom of God operates by certain laws/ ways... but through a godless school system, as a nation... we have not been taught them.
Instead... we have been taught the exact opposite.
ON PURPOSE.
We have been programmed to fail in the five areas of life (FAOL).... and that programming is working perfectly... AS PLANNED.
The only thing a godless system can teach you.... is how to be... GODLESS.
Deuteronomy 28 and Leviticus 26 reveals to us where we are... individually and corporately... by the results that are happening to us.
There are three times as many curses for disobedience... as there are blessings for obedience.
That means it is 3x harder on you... to be disobedient.
Many are living under the curses... even though they are saved.
You can be forgiven.... but forgiveness does not NEGATE consequences.
When I am teaching bible studies... I use three of them that are listed and they are:
- You'll always be a slave.
- You'll always be in debt.
and # 3... You'll always be in bondage.
God's laws apply to everyone equally.
If you do not know them... they automatically work against you... just like the law of gravity.
Mike Murdock says it like this, "God will bless the non-christian... who applies His laws... before He will the Christian, who won't. His laws are fixed."
Where are you?... Where do you want to be?....
What do you want?... and What do you see?
Write it down.... SPECIFICALLY.
98% of people... do not write down their dreams and goals.
100% of those people... never achieve their dreams and goals.
2% of people write down their dreams and goals... specifically, in detail.
98% of these people... achieve them all.
Even God... wrote down His Word.
The catch?
You can become a gazillionaire here... and live the best life anyone has ever lived.... but if you are not saved (FT#7)... you still get to spend eternity in hell.
God is a just God.
He lets the rain fall on the just and the unjust... but death is still coming.
First things... FIRST.
Let the main thing... be the MAIN thing.
Then... get about laying up some treasures for when you get there.
There is no use laying up treasures... if you ain't gonna make the trip.
I call it... "After We're Saved.... What Then??"
Love y'all... Anthony
