I. We Lose Rewards for:

A. If We Give Our Money for Be Seen of Men
Matt 6:3-4 “3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.”
B. If We Fast to Show Men We Are Fasting
Matt 6:16-18 “16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; 18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.”
C. If Pray Like the Hypocrites to Be Seen of Men
Matt 6:5 “5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.”
II. We Are Rewarded for:
A. If Our Works Abide That We Have Built Thereupon
I Cor 3:14 “14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.”
B. If We Are Persecuted
Matt 5:11-12 “11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.”
C. If We Do Not Cast Away Our Confidence
Heb 10:34-35 “34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. 35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.”
D. If We Serve the Lord Christ
Col 3:24 “24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.”
E. If We Gave a Cup of Cold Water to Little Ones
Matt 10:42 “42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.”

A. When Jesus Returns, He Has His Rewards for Us With Him

B. If We Endure to the End, We Will Receive a Crown
James 1:12 “12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.”
I Pet 5:4 “4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.”
C. Jesus is Preparing a Mansion for Us
