Their Judge is their Saviour,
their husband, and head; who, though he will bring every one of them
for all things to judgment, yet will keep them for ever out of
condemnation. Perfect love casteth out fear, even while we are here;
much more then when we are with the Saviour, our Jesus, being passed
from death to life.
SAINTS REWARDED AT THE JUDGMENT.
Now the saved having accounted for all their evil, and confessed to
God's glory how they fell short and did not the truth in this or
that particular, and having received their eternal acquittance from
the Lord and Judge, in the sight of both angels and saints,
forthwith the Lord Jesus will make inquiry into all the good and
holy actions they do in the world. Now here shall all things be
reckoned up, from the very first good thing that was done by Adam or
Abel, to the last that will fall out to be done in the world--the
good of all the holy prophets, of all apostles, pastors, teachers,
and helps in the church--here also will be brought forth to light
all the good deeds of masters of families, of parents, of children,
of servants, of neighbors, or whatever good things any man doeth.
1. Here will be a recompense for all that have labored sincerely in
the word and doctrine. Now shall Paul the planter, and Apollos the
waterer, with every one of their companions, receive the reward that
is according to their works.
