if you only serve God for the reward that He wants to give you I am not sure we have anything to talk about. Sure God rewards us with eternal life, adoption, etc. it's called abundant Love or Lavished Love but that isn't the reason we should come to Christ. We should come to Him with a broken and contrite heart over how we have sinned and been against Him...Psalms 51:17; Psalms 34:18; and on and on and on.Galatians chapter 5 verse 6
The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself in love.
I gave up my life to seek a reward, this life is worthless except to know God.
No one can quote one verse in the bible that says, love only not expecting a reward.
God wants to reward his people, but not everyone who says their a Christian is.
Now as to what I was saying...if you do something out of the reward you expect to gain it is NOT Love....oh and as to Galatians 5:6...I said nothing about faith now did I?! I said that if the reason you are doing something nice is to receive reward it is not Love 1 Corinthians 13...in that case it is just a resounding gong
