Does God really offer us a gift and then a reward? Can that really be the key to resolving the tension between the "security" verses in Scripture and the "loss" verses? If so, this pattern of "gift, then reward" should be clear in Scripture. In this episode, we'll see that God established this pattern in His relationship with the people of Israel during Old Testament times. This connection gives us all the more reason to see this pattern as valid for the way that God relates to us.
