Well Done
Wouldn't it just be nice to see a sermon or post on having done well without being straight or cisgender as a qualifying factor?
I personally would like to just post something that might give someone a better hope without twisting scripture or saying they have to be like me or my church.
Having said thus let me continue.
Matthew 25: 19-23
[19] After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
[20] And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
[21] His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
[22] He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
[23] His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
What does the King James Bible say about people that have done well?
Many want to hear these words but then they hear conditions tagged on that make seem impossible for them.
What I want to do is keep this short and use 3 witnesses about doing well. After all the word says in the mouth of two or three witnesses every matter shall be established.
Peter denied the Lord three times and even though his denial was established the Lord had mercy on him and still allowed him to be the one the church would be founded on.
So here's number one.
2 Chronicles 6:8
[8] But the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart:
We know that this is a prophesy of Jesus who would be the righteous Branch Zechariah would speak of that would come from Jesse and build the temple and bear the glory. This also shows those of us who are average people that to do well in the eyes of God we need not walk on water or do some great work.
The Lord considers it doing well if we build a house for him.
Peter said we are an spiritual house and it is written our bodies are the temple of the Holy Ghost.
If you really want to hear the words "Well done" at the judgment seat just desire to build him an house and let the good Lord sort out the rest.
What is another witness?
Mark 7:37
[37] And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
We know they are speaking of Jesus because of the miracles he did.
We too can do the same.
All you have to do is be willing to take what faith you have whether great or small and help another person to believe.
If you can share a word and another person believes and they share what they have heard about the word of God you have done well in that area.
Is there another witness?
Acts 10:33
[33] Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
Cornelius was a just man that built the people of God a house.
An angel came unto him and told him to send to Joppa and get Peter.
Peter didn't refuse to go to him as the Spirit of God showed him that which God hath cleansed no man has the right to call unclean.
Peter being a Jew knew that they were commanded not to dwell or associate with those of another nation. But this was that point where the Lord was going to open the door of faith unto the Gentiles.
Because Peter was faithful to go to those whom every Jew called unclean he had done well.
There are many more just as simple but I do not want to make a long drawn out thread.
I hope that any who read this can see that salvation and hearing the words Well done can be very different and said to those other than some have made it appear.
I hope anyone that reads this is blessed.
