The title pretty much sums it up, but if you're like me it kind of ruffles your feathers a little. So, why is it true? Because God is the Rewarder...there were 2 trees in the garden because He wants to reward our obedience. Favor increases as we live a life of obedeince. Jesus grew in wisdom, stature and in favor with both God and man...how did the King of Kings grow in favor with His Father? He lived to do the will of His Father...this is how we grow in favor and grace.
