Eternal Rewards

Our life on this earth is temporal,
and what we do now for the Lord,
will determine on the Judgment Day,
what will be our eternal rewards.

 Witnessing to lost people we know
about what the Lord has done;
leading the same to salvation,
a soul for Christ Jesus is won!

Being martyred for our Savior,
brings you an eternal reward;
as does diligently seeking
to better know the Lord!

Giving your money cheerfully
to aid in the work of the Lord;
praying to and fasting for Yahweh;
these things will bring a reward.

 Being a faithful Pastor for God,
and helping those who’re in need;
loving those who don’t love back;
God will also reward these deeds.

 Be a godly spouse and/or parent;
treat others with honor, too;
be faithful in your earthly job;
you’ll be rewarded if you do.

Doing good deeds for fellow man;
submitting to an unfair boss;
being persecuted for Jesus’ name;
Jehovah won’t count as loss!

 Have the attitude of a servant;
be humble for all of your days;
visit widows and orphans in distress;
God finds these worthy of praise!

 Help those less fortunate than you;
do little things for your neighbor;
live your life most righteously,
and Jehovah will bless your labor!

 Don’t do these things to seek rewards,
but know that His word is true;
if you do these things while you are here,
He’ll give great rewards to you!
