Rewarded According to His Own Labor

Summary

The sermon emphasizes the biblical teaching that eternal life is a gift and not earned by works, but God does reward faithful service in this life. Using the example of Paul and Apollos, it highlights that God gifts believers uniquely and rewards them according to their labor in His service. The preacher warns against fatalism and encourages believers to actively serve God with sincere motives, seeking to honor Him rather than personal gain. The reward for faithfulness is both present and future, given in a spirit of selfless service.
