30:19 great are your purposes and mighty are your deeds.Your eyes are open to the ways of all mankind;you reward each person according to their conduct and as their deeds deserve
I find myself baffled by this verse...My heart and soul tell me that this is contradictory to the core of Christianity.
If God my King "rewarded" us according to our conduct and deeds. We would all be Sodom. Lost to any hope of eternal life. The gates of pearl would be locked against us.
Our eternal reward would be death.
Because the wage of sin is death!
Jesus' died so that we could have life and life eternal. If we believe that good deeds and conduct can earn us rewards in this life or the next then we devalue the sacrifice that is and was Christ Jesus!
