The unknown author writes that God knows His own and values their service on His behalf.
Hebrews 6:10 For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name . . . (NASB)
In the world there are those who come close to becoming a Christ-follower, but then back away; then there are those who take the final step and say “Yes” to the claims of Christ and genuinely become a child of God. The question is: how do you tell these two apart? By their works! Scripture says, “faith without works is dead.”
This verse assures the Christ-follower that God in heaven looks down and sees your faithful work on His behalf. Not only does He see, but He remembers . . . and one day He will return and gather His precious ones to Himself. Albert Barnes wrote: “God is not “unjust”, and He will remember an act of kindness shown to His people — even though it be nothing but giving a cup of cold water.”
