How are you being treated?

There is a powerful principle in the scriptures that most of us either have missed, or do not know. It is found in Luke 6:31 (NET). Jesus said: “Treat others in the same way that you would want them to treat you.” Read this short verse various times and then ask yourself “how do you treat others?” Read this question again: “How do you treat others?” This is vital because how you treat others determines how others will treat you. If you read Luke 6, from verses 31 to 35, you’ll see that when we treat people kindly and with love, God will reward you because He Himself is kind and loving. So today, do a self-inspection, and make sure that you are treating others just like Jesus does. There is a great reward for that!

Luke 6:31 (NET) “Treat others in the same way that you would want them to treat you.”

God will give you divine recompense for any loss!

Recompense is a powerful word! It means: “To give something to by way of compensation (as for a service rendered or damage incurred). An equivalent or a return for something done, suffered, or given.” Hebrews 10:35 says: “Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.”  Notice how our confidence in God has a great recompense of reward. When we confide in God and His promises, God takes note of that, and He rewards us. Even if you lose something in the process of trusting God. You might even suffer persecution for your faith. Yet, in all of this, you can be sure that God will reward you for your faith and confidence in Him. Matthew 19:29 says: “And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.” For everything that we lose for His sake, we shall receive something better, and the greatest blessing is that He has given us eternal life and an eternal home with Him. So don’t fret for what you have lost, rejoice in what you have gained in Christ!

Hebrews 10:35 “Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.”
