KING JESUS, The Believer's Great Reward

“Fear not Abraham, I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.” -Genesis 15:1 [KJV]  

The word reward is also translated wages, hire, price, work, and fare.  Wages earned!  We realize we did not earn the Lord by our works of personal merit. And it is equally true by virtue of the work of Christ on our behalf, making the way for God to be just and justify the ungodly, we are given what God owes us!  

The believer’s reward is Christ Himself!  To view our reward in any lower terms such as a higher position in heaven received because of works done here on earth is to debase the reward and deny that salvation is all of grace.  Christ Himself, the unspeakable gift of God Himself, is the reward given to every believer.
