When God says...
"Evil pursues sinners, But to the righteous, good shall be repaid." (Proverbs 13:21 NKJV)
A person who sins is restless and constantly looking over his shoulder. His conscience convicts him. Aware of his guilt, he is constantly running from guilt for the evil he has done. He has no peace. Only torment follows him.
The righteous are in direct contrast. Their hearts are clear. They have Jesus their Savior. Whose blood puts them right in the sight of God, whose grace is enough for them to bear fruits in the good things they manifest in their daily living. They are givers and not takers. When scripture teaches "give and it shall be given unto you". They believe and by grace the fruit of the Spirit shines on them. They know that by helping others at every opportunity, they have sure help from heaven. As you give, God gives you more. You cannot out give God. His holy Word establishes that righteousness leads to divine sanctification, while evil leads to condemnation.
As the righteous do good by grace through faith in Jesus, their reward waiting in heaven is great. Lord Jesus said, "Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ (Matthew 25:34-36 ESV)
He further said: "....‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’(Matthew 25:40b ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
