The Result of Doing Good Work

* Doing good work has a two-fold reward. * God made us to work. * It existed before sin entered the world. * When we work “as unto the Lord” God receives it as worship. * Notice the two-fold reward for doing good work: * 1) We feel the proper emotion toward our work. * Vs 9 - “The Lord is good to all; He has compassion on all He has made…” * Based on God’s character (He’s good) He has the proper emotion (compassion) toward what He has made (people) * Ex: mowing lawns - felt good to see it afterward. * Ex: watching Trae play hoops - feels good to watch. * Your heart follows your treasure. * 2) Our work will bring us praise. * Vs 10 - “All your works praise you, Lord; your faithful people extol you…” * When you do good work it will bring glory to who you are. * As a believer our responsibility is to deflect that to God.
