Hello, everybody. Newbie posting here. I'd like to hear your thoughts on: "For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will by no means lose his reward" (ESV).
This has always seemed to me like an awfully easy path to salvation. If I were an atheist who wanted to cover all the bases, I'd buy a bottle of water and a Dixie cup, and go out looking for a Christian. "You belong to Christ? Here ya go."
Or is it a matter of reward and not salvation? "Cup of water, eh? Here's your reward; now, go to hell."
What is Jesus saying here?
