Circular Letter.
Fellow Messengers of Spring River Baptist Association :-In compliance with the wish you expressed at the last ses
Jion of the body, I submit th"l following. · My subject is: God's Reward to His Children for Services. Many people never learn ·to make a distinction between the
iift of eternal life, and the REWARD for servic~s to God. ThinkIng that eternal life is all that is promised them. and believing " He that heareth my wprd, and believeth on Him that sent me hath everlasting life, And SHAT,.L NOT come into condemnation, but is p<l.ssed from death·. unto life."-John v:24., they grow careless ~nd fail to serve the Master as they should and are thereby deprived of their reward. This being a fact, (as I see ft) is the reason I have chosen this subject. ,
Our worship to God is two-fold in its nature: Th~ first step is to exercise faith; the second i:; to serve the Lord. The blessIng obtained by exercising ·faith is eternal life: that obtained by the secohd is reward. A reward is something paid for service done. The bible promises us a reward. Salvation. being a free GIFT. can not be that rewarq. Pal}! says "The WAGES of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life."- Rorri. vi:25. Therefore. sal vat ion being a free gift, we can do nothing to rt;~erit it, else it ceases to be a gift and becomes a reward. · It is a manifestation of God's sovereign Jove toward us.
Again, Paul says: " By grace are ye saved through faith ; and that not of yourselves; it is the ·gift of God: Not of works. lest any man should bC?ast."- Eph. u:a, 9. Again: "If by grace then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no mor.e grace." -Ro·m. x1:6. •
But the Lord manifests his love toward l:lS still further by offering us a reward for acceptable service. This reward is to be given at Christ's second coming.-" And behold I come quickay: and my reward is with me to give to every man as his works shall be."-Rev. xxn:12. Now, this reward .is not eternal life, or salvation. because "He that be.lieveth ·on_ the son hath everlasting life.''-John m:56, To the woman Jesus said "Thy faith HATH saved thee."- Luke vn:50; He said the same to the
blind man-Luke xvi i~:42.' Paul said {Eph. u:5) by grace ARE ye saved.
And he says every man's work shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare it because it shall be revealed by fire;_ and the fire shall try every man'.s work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide whicb he hath built thereupon h·e shall receive a REWARD. If any man's works shall-be burned he shall su.ffer loss, but he himself shall be saved yet so as by fire.!. Cor. m:l5, 14, 15.
Paul realized that there was· a CROWN for him to wear after he should leave this world._:_u. Tim. 1v:8. Was this CROWN laid up for Paul because he had believed? No, this crown was to be given him because he had fought a go~d fight for the Lord. It- was given him for his faithful service.-If. Tim. 1v:'l.
This REWARD is ~ometimes ca!"led a crown, "he thou faithful until death and I will give thee a CROWN of life.-Rev. 11 :·1 0.
No!", this crown is ~o~ething which might b~ · lost: "Hold thou fast which thou .hast that rio man take thy CROWN.-Rev. m:ll.
The Bible seems to conve·y the idea that thls c·rown will have jewets in it depending on our service done. Other placet it seems to hold out other rewards. This REWARD is refered to in Rev. m:l2-"Him that overcometh I will make a pi·llar, and I will write on him my NEW NAME,_. etc .. " Whatever these re• wards may be we may res't assured they - will be 'Of the Lord. while the REWARD we receive will depend entirely on the char· acter of .our service. - Then is it not a joyful .thought to know that -our salvation is in the hands of one might ier than we.
What a precious inspiration, that if we serve Him faithfully that by and by· we will wear that beautiful CROWN given us as REWARD for our Service.
· Brethren, can we-not resolve to begin anew to do MORE in the service of_ our Master, who has promised us ~o much . .
Your Brother in Christ,
J. A. ABEE.
