The Rewards Offered to Followers of Jesus
Manage episode 304331468 series 2483673
In this Sunday morning Bible Study at Calvary Fellowship of Ottawa, guest teacher Gary Van Donkersgoed has a topical study on "The Rewards Offered To Followers Of Jesus". The study follows the word "Crown" in the New Testament, which is consistently applied as something promised to Christians. This is not something tied to salvation or faith in general but highlights some specific things that the New Testament authors seem to be aware of. Paul, Peter, James and John all mention Crowns with a focus on things very dear to God's Heart. They relate to actions, attitudes, responses, that seem to be very characteristic of Jesus's life and of the life that honours God.
The four rewards (or crowns) are not for bragging rights, but showcase important things to daily bear in mind. They include 1. A reward for good control of our body (it was bought with a price, so it is not my own to only make my own choices). 2. For sharing the good news with others, and helping their faith to grow 3. For humble Church leadership that is exemplary to their local Church and 4. For persevering through deep and real-life trials, remembering that Jesus is coming back and you can hardly wait
