Proverbs 24…why try to do good?

Solomon talks about why we should try to do good in Proverbs 24:12 (NIV) “…will he not repay each person according to what he has done?”

Paul talks about it in Romans 2:6 (NIV), “God will give to each person according to what he has done.”

James says pretty much the same in James 1:12 (NLT), “God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation.  Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.”

And then Jesus summarizes all of this in the book of Revelation (last book of the Bible) 22:16 (NLT), “Look, I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me to repay all people according to their deeds.” 

Nuff said.

P.E.A.C.E.
