A Kingdom for the Persecuted
White Horse Inn
Reward Is Not a Product of Merit
The concept of reward is not based on a mutual relation to merit; rather, it is a free promise from God. Even the best human deeds carry imperfections and fail to meet the worthiness required for divine reward. True martyrdom is not claimed by those who suffer for their own faults but by those defending a righteous cause. Historical examples highlight that self-congratulatory attitudes among persecuted groups stem from a misinterpretation of suffering as divine endorsement. The apostles are reminded that the path to righteousness involves struggle and perseverance, and they should remain vigilant rather than complacent about eventual restoration under Christ's reign.
