**1. THE STRUCTURE OF THE TEACHING
YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS VS. THE HYPOCRITES
BEFORE OTHERS TO BE SEEN
BUT WHEN ...
RECEIVED THEIR REWARD VS FATHER WILL REWARD YOU**
Matthew 5:16.
… let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
1 John 2:28–3:3
And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming. If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him. See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.
Matthew 23:5
They do all their deeds to be seen by others._Kent Hughes
The truth is, they were not giving but buying, and they got what they paid for. It is possible to be the most generous Christian around, both in the amount and proportion you give, and yet have no reward except what you immediately receive.
Hebrews 12:1–2
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:7
It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
Kent Hughes
The truth is, they were not giving but buying, and they got what they paid for. It is possible to be the most generous Christian around, both in the amount and proportion you give, and yet have no reward except what you immediately receive.
C. S. Lewis
We must not be troubled by unbelievers when they say that this promise of reward makes the Christian life a mercenary affair. There are different kinds of reward. There is the reward which has no natural connexion with the things you do to earn it, and is quite foreign to the desires that ought to accompany those things. Money is not the natural reward of love; that is why we call a man a mercenary if he marries a woman for the sake of her money. But marriage is the proper reward for a real lover, and he is not mercenary for desiring it.… The proper rewards are not simply tacked on to the activity for which they are given, but are the activity itself in consummation.
