AE 695a - "reward"

AE 695a [2]
And to give reward to His servants, the prophets and the saints.
(Revelation 11:18)

"Reward" means properly that delight, blessedness, and happiness
that is in the love or affection of good and truth.

. . . the Lord is in that love or affection, and with the Lord is heaven;

. . . those will receive who do good and speak truth
from the love or affection of good and truth,
thus from the Lord,
and in no wise from themselves;
and as they do this from the Lord
and not from themselves
it is not a reward of merit but a reward of grace.
