471. That man will be judged and rewarded according to his deeds and
works is declared in many passages in the Word, some of which I will
here quote:
The Son of man shall come in the glory of His Father with
His angels and then He will render unto everyone according
to his works (Matt. 16:27).
Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord; yea, saith the
Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, for their
works follow them (Apoc. 14:13).
I will give to everyone according to his works (Apoc.
2:23).
I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God; and
the books were opened and the dead were judged out of the
things that were written in the books according to their
works. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death
and hell gave up those that were in them, and they were
judged everyone according to their works (Apoc. 20:12,
13).
Behold I come, and My reward is with Me, to give to
everyone according to his works (Apoc. 22:12).
Everyone that heareth My words and doeth them I will liken
to a prudent man; but everyone that heareth My words and
doeth them not is likened to a foolish man (Matt. 7:24,
26).
Not everyone that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter
into the kingdom of the heavens; but he that doeth the
will of My Father who is in the heavens. Many will say
unto Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in
Thy name, and through Thy name cast out demons, and in Thy
name done many mighty works? But then will I confess to
them, I know you not: depart from Me, ye workers of
iniquity (Matt. 7:21-23).
Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk before
Thee; Thou hast taught in our streets. But He will say, I
tell you I know you not, ye workers of iniquity (Luke
13:25-27).
I will recompense them according to their work and
according to the doing of their hands (Jer. 25:14).
Jehovah, whose eyes are open upon all the ways of men, to
give to everyone according to his ways and according to
the fruit of his works (Jer. 32:19).
I will visit upon his ways and recompense to him his works
(Hosea 4:9).
Jehovah doeth with us according to our ways and according
to our works (Zech. 1:6).
