Rewarding His Children

We rob God of his identity as a gracious Father when we deny ourselves what he clearly and graciously promises. So, it is not wrong to ask, ‘Does God reward Christians for their good works?’ But we would do better to inquire, ‘Does our heavenly Father, out of his abundant grace, reward his children for their good works?’
