thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine
head, and wash thy face; that thou
appear not unto men to fast, but unto
thy Father which is in secret: and thy
Father, which seeth in secret, shall
reward thee openly.
There is no doubt about the meaning
of Christ’s startling words. He declares
that there are two places to be rewarded
— here upon earth as a person seeks the
praise of men, or later in heaven when
the Father who saw the works performed
in secret, without notoriety, rewards
those who did the job simply out of love
for Him. When Jesus returns to call His
people unto himself and the judgment
begins, what will be the verdict about
your motives in the Christian race? The
motives issue will then be made manifest.
I Corinthians 4:5 declares, Therefore
judge nothing before the time, until the
Lord come, who both will bring to light
the hidden things of darkness, and will
make manifest the counsels [or motives]
of the heart.
I trust I have increased your desire to
know even more about this event that
occurs immediately after the Rapture.
Further questions answered are:
• Is this judgment only for believers?
• Will all of God’s servants have some
form of works (good and bad) to be
tested?
• Will there be a difference in the
quality and quantity of one’s service?
• Will “burned works” bring eternal loss?
• What works come under the heading
of gold, silver, precious stones, wood,
hay and stubble?
• Will there be sorrow in heaven as
works are burned into ashes?
• Will there be weeping in heaven, and
for how long?
• Can one lose rewards, previously
earned, because of living carelessly
and satisfying fleshly desires?
• What are the five crowns for service
that believers will place at Christ’s
throne?
• What must one do to hear Jesus say:
“Well done thou good and faithful
servant?”
•How near is this great event?
This video is a must in the light of
Christ's imminent return. Order it today.
This information could turn you around
spiritually before you face the greatest
moment in history — seeing Christ face
to face.
This video will help you strive for one
of the five crowns, especially the
“Watchers Crown” bestowed on all who
look for His return. II Timothy 4:8 states,
Henceforth there is laid up for me a
crown of righteousness, which the Lord,
the righteous judge, shall give me at
that day: and not to me only, but unto
all them also that love his appearing. ■
