II. Getting the Vision As you know by now, you were saved to serve. You know your obligation. But there is another side to this coin. You must learn to recognize the wonderful rewards of service to your Lord. Matthew 19:29–30; Matthew 25:28–29 A. God rewards you in two ways 1. Temporal rewards
2.
Eternal rewards
We do not know all the eternal rewards we can earn, but a partial listing was given in Lesson 13. Luke 19:12–19; Revelation 11:18 B. The need is great At a guess, perhaps 5% or less of the world’s population is saved. That means that there are currently over 5,000,000,000 people headed for eternity in hell. “Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” (Matthew 7:14). “Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest” (Matthew 9:37–38). C. The time is short We can reasonably expect the tribulation to start as well as the pretribulation rapture before the end of our lives. You may only have a few months or years to accomplish something for the One you are about to meet. Romans 13:11; 1 Corinthians 7:29–31; 1 Peter 4:7
