Kingdom Rewards

Western civilization has been greatly influenced by the altruistic thinking of Immanuel Kant. If you never read anything he has written, it is important for you to know, that you have likely still been influenced by him, particularly on the connection between faith and reward. He said, “An action, to have moral worth, must be done from duty.” That stands in stark contrast to the teaching of Jesus. The Lord has promised to reward us, and therefore, approves wholeheartedly of us being motivated to obey him for reward. Matthew 6 touches on 3 religious practices that were the most common in Christ’s day, and Jesus assures everyone that they will be reward for them if they practice them in the way he instructs.
