It did not open in the first window, but opened in it's own window instead. I saved it to my desktop and will get to it when I am able. To be honest, I don't worry about rewards. If I do spend eternity with God, then He can have any reward He has for me as just being with Him will be more than enough, and more then I deserve.

Without get into the why some approach the rewards of being faithful in some other way that it is supposed to be... The rewards of the good and faithful servant can be seen as a copy cat from the parable of the good steward in the passage in the New Testament and in the narrative in the book of Acts in the narrative of Philip... Philip followed the call of the Spirit and as he was blindfolded he found himself in this specific part on that dessert road, still he did not know what was all about, but he knew that he was there on the mission of the Holy Spirit....and he was patiently waiting for what it would have been the next step. So he was faithful witnessing to the one man, to this very particular one man, to whom perhaps the culture under the Law had prohibitions in it's place...because he was a Enuch. What happened at the end it was the Enuch who was guiding Philip into baptizing him in the name of Jesus.

Regarding worrying about rewards . . . to me it's a matter of faithfulness. The message is there is one thing required by the Lord - faithfulness in a few things. Otherwise there will be a loss suffered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in the case of Philip who was faithful in the one man to bring the Gospel to the Enuch and the Holy Spirit after giving him the Enuch he took him from village to village in Judea, the Holy Spirit gave him as a reward the villages of Judea..and then Philip found himself facing Samaria the forbidden city and the Spirit gave him as a reward the city and the whole region of Samaria...

Otherwise there will be a loss suffered. I think you missed my point about rewards, but I may be wrong about this. My focus is not on "what I can receive", but rather obedience and faithfulness. I'm sure Jesus will reward those who deserve rewards and everyone will be grateful, but to me, rewards is not the reason why. I say this because it is in the nature of man to put themselves first, as in, "What do I get out of this?". See what I'm saying? As for suffering loss, there will be those who do suffer loss. In fact, I'd be 100% shocked if the is one person who does not suffer a loss, or losses. Still, they will remained saved. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
