HIS HANDS' (Isaiah 65:22). Finally, it says the following: “For many nations, and great kings shall even
serve themselves of them: THUS WILL I RECOMPENSE THEM ACCORDING TO THEIR DEEDS, AND
ACCORDING TO THE WORKS OF THEIR OWN HANDS”- Jeremiah 25:14 (Geneva Bible, 1599).
And further on: “If you [profess ignorance and] say, Behold, we did not know this, does not He Who weighs
and ponders the heart perceive and consider it? And He Who guards your life, does not He know it? And
SHALL NOT HE RENDER TO [YOU AND] EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS WORKS?-
Proverbs
24:12 (Amplified Bible, Classic edition);
And the prophets also taught the law of sowing and reaping, when they went on to say: “Then the prophet
Shemaiah went to Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah who were gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak.
He said to them, 'This is what the Lord says: YOU HAVE ABANDONED ME; THEREFORE, I HAVE
ABANDONED YOU'...”- 2 Chronicles 12:5 (Christian Standard Bible);
"So tell the people, ‘This is what the Lord of Armies says: RETURN TO ME —this is the declaration of the
Lord of Armies— AND I WILL RETURN TO YOU'..."- Zechariah 1:3 (Christian Standard Bible)«And
Adoni-Bezek said... “AS I HAVE DONE, SO GOD HATH REWARDED ME"...»- Judges 1:7 (Geneva
Bible);
“For
the day of the Lord is near, upon all the heathen: AS THOU HAST DONE, IT SHALL BE DONE TO
THEE...”- Obadiah 1:15 (Geneva Bible); “SO THEY HANGED HAMAN ON THE GALLOWS THAT HE
[HAMAN] HAD PREPARED FOR MORDECAI...”- Esther 7:10 (Amplified Bible)
Thus, it makes plain sense to think that, the well-being of each man rests upon his willingness to repent of his
wickedness, thereby turning away from his evil behavior, in order to start doing the good works that please
the Creator [in other words, obeying the Ten commandments of the Divine Law]. As it is written, “DEPART
FROM EVIL AND DO GOOD; AND YOU WILL DWELL FOREVER [SECURELY]”- Psalm 37:27
(Amplified Bible, Classic Edition).
Or as it says elsewhere: «All has been heard; THE END OF THE MATTER IS: “FEAR GOD [REVERE
AND WORSHIP HIM, KNOWING THAT HE IS] AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, FOR THIS IS
THE WHOLE OF MAN [THE FULL, ORIGINAL PURPOSE OF HIS CREATION, THE OBJECT OF
GOD’S PROVIDENCE, THE ROOT OF CHARACTER, THE FOUNDATION OF ALL HAPPINESS, THE
ADJUSTMENT TO ALL INHARMONIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES AND CONDITIONS UNDER THE
SUN] AND THE WHOLE [DUTY] FOR EVERY MAN. FOR GOD SHALL BRING EVERY WORK INTO
JUDGMENT, with every secret thing, whether it is good or evil”»- Ecclesiastes 12: 13-14 (Amplified Bible,
Classic Edition).
And even the Christian writings attest to the fact that God's righteous judgment consists in rewarding each
person according to the good [or evil] he [or she] has performed.
As it is written: “And the sea gave up her dead, which were in her, and death and
hell delivered up the dead,
which were in them: AND THEY WERE JUDGED EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS”-
Revelation 20:13 (Geneva Bible, 1599).
And they also say in another place: “BUT THOU, AFTER THINE HARDNESS, AND HEART THAT
CANNOT REPENT, HEAPEST UP AS A TREASURE UNTO THYSELF WRATH AGAINST THE DAY
OF WRATH, AND OF THE DECLARATION OF THE JUST JUDGMENT OF GOD, WHO WILL
REWARD EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS WORKS: THAT IS, TO THEM WHICH THROUGH
PATIENCE IN WELL DOING, SEEK GLORY, AND HONOR, AND IMMORTALITY, EVERLASTING
LIFE...
TRIBULATION AND ANGUISH SHALL BE UPON THE SOUL OF EVERY MAN THAT DOETH EVIL:
OF THE JEW FIRST, AND ALSO OF THE GRECIAN. BUT TO EVERY MAN THAT DOETH GOOD,
571
SHALL BE GLORY, AND HONOR, AND PEACE: TO THE JEW FIRST, AND ALSO TO THE
GRECIAN”- Romans 2: 5-7, & 9-10 (Geneva Bible, 1599).
Thus, when any person [or any thing], stirs up our hearts, turning us away from our rebellious obstinacy [in
order to start obeying God's commandments], such person [or such thing] has thereby become the promised
Redeemer (or Messiah)- He who has come to save us. As it has been said: “And THE REDEEMER SHALL
COME UNTO ZION (UNTO WHOM SHALL THE REDEEMER COME?).... UNTO THEM THAT TURN
FROM INIQUITY (REPENT) IN JACOB, saith the Lord” - Isaiah 59:20 (Geneva Bible, 1599).
Again, the fact that the road to everlasting Life is to be found in the performance of
the good ordained by
God upon the two stone tablets, is such a paramount and undeniable truth, that both the Holy Gospel, as well
as the Noble Qur'an, confirms it.
As it is written: “And he [Jesus] said unto him, Why called thou me good? there is none good but one, even
God: BUT IF THOU WILT ENTER INTO [EVERLASTING] LIFE, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS....
THOU SHALT NOT KILL: THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY: THOU SHALT NOT STEAL:
THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS. HONOR THY FATHER, AND MOTHER: AND, THOU
SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF”- Matthew 19: 17-19 (Geneva Bible, 1599);
And also says in another Scripture: “Allah (GOD) HAS PROMISED THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND WORK
RIGHTEOUSNESS: THEY WILL HAVE FORGIVENESS AND A GREAT REWARD [IN THE WORLD
TO COME]''- Qur'an, Surah 5:9.
