"But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you may not appear to be fasting, except to your Father who is hidden. And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you."

Jesus says that our Father will repay us for what we do for Him. Are you denying this? Is Jesus mistaken?

No, our Lord and Savior is not mistaken. Our Father who sees what is hidden will repay us.

For those who fast soulishly, his perfect justice and perfect righteousness will not require Him to repay us any more than what we have done even in secret. If we fast, by remaining in faith with Christ, then the reward is even greater.

So, you agree that God repays us according to our works for Him?
