Lib. Yes: But it is a Reward properly to Christ, by whose grace we live, and not to our selves.
P. When Christ saith, [Great is your Reward in Heaven: and your father shall reward you openly,] Matth. 5. 12. & 6. 4, 6. and [you shall not lose your reward;] and Heb. 11. 26. [he had an eye to the recompense of reward;] and Heb. 11. 6. [God is a Rewarder of them that diligently seek him, &c.] is the meaning, [Great is Christs Reward in Heaven, and God will reward Christ openly, and is a Rewarder of Christ only as diligently seeking him? &c.]
P. When Christ saith, [Great is your Reward in Heaven: and your father shall reward you openly,] Matth. 5. 12. & 6. 4, 6. and [you shall not lose your reward;] and Heb. 11. 26. [he had an eye to the recompence of reward;] and Heb. 11. 6. [God is a Rewarder of them that diligently seek him, &c.] is the meaning, [Great is Christs Reward in Heaven, and God will reward Christ openly, and is a Rewarder of Christ only as diligently seeking him? &c.]
