Jesus Christ gave us the basics of believing on Him for salvation…

and indicated that God desires our fellowship…each person, His special creation.

Sadly, though, some will spend time with Him barely just once a week,

which makes us want to remind them…there’s more that they should seek.

There will be rewards in heaven for what we’ve done in regard…

to contributing to His kingdom, which doesn’t have to be hard.

We can open up our wallets, helping many established outreaches.

We can pray or serve in some way…not having to be one who “preaches.”

If they’ve believed in Jesus Christ, confessing Him as the Lord of Lords,

that’s wonderful, but they must realize He wants to also give rewards.

And, in giving, with love, to others, we receive during this life, too…

Doing for our “neighbor,” not living just for ourselves, is a fulfilling thing to do.

P. A. Oltrogge

Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 22:37-40

Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matthew 5:11-12

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:19-21

Read Matthew 25

And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. Revelation 22:12-13

1 Corinthians 3:11-15
2 Corinthians 5:10
Hebrews 6:10

There are many established Christian outreaches which have been mentioned on this blog, and you may be aware of others as well. Samaritans Purse is often looking for volunteers. Of course, as Christians, we are serving the Lord, too, in our daily workplace. But I wrote the above poetic text out of concern for those who think they’re right with God, but may not actually be born again, since they don’t really commune with Him, and attend church very infrequently.

Father, please awaken those who need to take things a step further–from knowing of You, to knowing You and serving You, as You lead them… You want them to receive reward. Help us all to follow as You lead… in Jesus’ name, we pray…Amen
