"Whatever good thing each one does, this he will receive back from the Lord" (Eph 6:8). What an amazing statement!
Everything. Every little thing you do that is good is valued by the Lord. And He will pay you back for it.
Not in the sense that you have earned anything by putting him in your debt. He owes nothing. But He freely, graciously chooses to reward good things done in faith.
Nothing we do. Nothing. Not one good thing is done in vain. "Whatever good thing each one does, this he will receive back from the Lord" This is His promise – His guarantee.
Astounding!
