The Gospel of Rewards is perhaps the most overlooked and criticized doctrines in Christendom. Is it mercenary (selfish, self-serving, etc) to allow the promise of reward (for good and bad deeds) be our primary motivation to serve God and try to live holy? This first series will explore many of the facets of this critical doctrine. #MotivatedByReward #SoGreatSalvationPodcast #SoGreatSalvationHebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

“For, behold, the Kingdom of God is within you.” Surely He did not mean that the Pharisees who addressed Him and to to whom He spoke, had the Kingdom within them individually, personally. The phrase “within you” is susceptible of an easy and consistent solution. Let the reader consider the Propositions in which we showed conclusively that this Kingdom is covenanted to the Jewish nation; that it is an elect nation; that this Kingdom belonged so exclusively to them that the public ministry of John, Jesus and the disciples was confined (Prop. 54) to that nation; that the Kingdom was tendered to it; that on its refusal (through its representative men) to repent, the Kingdom is postponed and the people who are to receive it as an inheritance with Christ are grafted into that elect nation, etc., and all these considerations show at once how this Kingdom was “within” them. It was truly “within” the nation, it being the elect nation.
