Title - Faith and the Reward
Before pouring hot lead that melted in his mouth, the martyr Boniface said, “Lord Jesus, I give thanks to you, Son of the living God.”
It is impossible to even imagine without a great believer.
People usually express gratitude when they have been given some benefit.
The same is true of Christians.
But those who have faith, those who have great faith, give thanks in everything.
Because they believe in God's guidance and protection for their entire daily life.
The Lord has promised to be with the believers always, even to the end of the world.

1. Offer the gift of faith
Those who are grateful for grace will have a heart to repay.
If he does not know how to be thankful even after receiving many graces, he must have no faith or culture at all.
The saints who give thanks for the grace of the Lord must give the gift of faith to the Lord.
We should note that the Lord is pleased with faith.
Full trust in Him and trust in His promises and words is a valuable gift.
The Bible clearly teaches that it is impossible to please the Lord without faith.
If someone says he is grateful to the Lord and does not act according to his faith, he is lying.
Worship without faith, prayer without faith, service without faith, gifts without faith, etc. are not acceptable to the Lord.
2. Obedience to the word of the Lord
It was because of disobedience that Saul, the first king of Israel, was rejected.
He was the chosen one, but he was rejected because he disobeyed the word of the Lord and did his own will.
In this way, God wants us to obey the Word more than formal sacrifices or large amounts of sacrifice.
Disobedience is on the list of the most serious sins, along with disobedience.
Therefore, those who know grace must obey the Lord in all things to please the Lord.
Just as a child who disobeys the will of his parents is not a filial son, a saint who disobeys the will of the Lord cannot be a person who knows grace.
Gratitude is not just a word of mouth, it must be followed by life.
Gratitude on the lips of those who do not obey the Lord is hypocrisy and is detestable to God.
Gratitude is not something that can be squeezed out.
It has value only when it comes from the depths of the heart.
People of faith are truly grateful to the Lord because they know the grace and blessings they have received, and the promises they will enjoy in the future.
A life without gratitude is dark.
Even if you go to church and have many things, you will never be happy because you are living without the Lord.
