Branch. 2 If God be such an Exceeding Great Reward, then it is not in vain to engage in his Service. 'Twas a slanderous Speech, Mal. 3.14. Ye have said, it is vain to serve God: The Infinite Jehovah gives a Reward that is as far beyond our thoughts as it is above our deserts.

The unsearchable Riches of Christ. Is it vain then to serve God? A Christians work is soon over, but not his Reward. He hath such an Harvest coming as cannot be fully Inned; it will be always Reaping-time in Heaven. How great is that Reward which Thoughts cannot measure, nor Time finish?
