"Behold, I am coming soon." The coming of the Lord will bring peace…

"Behold, I am coming soon!"
By the coming of the Lord, each person will receive a reward according to their deeds.
...This is not about salvation by works.
When the Lord returns,
...we will stand before "God's judgment seat."
✳️Romans 14:10.
...Last night after the prayer meeting...we discussed this matter with you all...
✳️Revelation 20:6.
"Blessed is the first resurrected man..."
Those people...when they stand before Christ's throne...will face judgment as a reward from the Lord.
…The Lord said,
"Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful with a few things; I will entrust you with many things."
…The New Testament promises to receive crowns such as the crown of life and the crown of righteousness, like those given to athletes who win!
…While the "eternal life" that all saved receive is equal, the "rewards" for each person are different.
…"Behold, I am coming soon!"
…Are you ready?
Shalom 😃
