Work’s Reward
Ephesians 6:8
The Upward Look
by Max D. Hutto,
“knowing that whatever good anyone does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether he is a bondservant or is free.” Ephesians 6:8 ESV
Whether he is a servant or free, a believer ultimately works for the Lord, not for men. The believer’s motivation to work obediently, diligently, dependably, respectfully, considerately, sincerely, and wholeheartedly is to please and honor the Lord in everything he does. It is the Lord who will judge a person’s work and life and who will reward the believer accordingly. The Lord will judge and reward both here on earth and in eternity in Heaven.
Lord Jesus, while I work in the midst of the trials and turmoil of this world, You have rewarded me with abundant inner peace, comfort, and joy. I await the final reward in Heaven.
