Luke 18:28-30 Part 2 of 2

Peter said, "We've left our homes to follow you."  "Yes," Jesus replied, "and I assure you that everyone who has given up house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the Kingdom of God, will be repaid many times over in this life, and will have eternal life in the world to come."

"will be repaid many times over in this life,"

Job 42:10-13  When Job prayed for his friends, the LORD gave him twice as much as before! Then all his brothers, sisters, and former friends came and feasted with him in his home. And they consoled him and comforted him because of all the trials the LORD had brought against him. And each of them brought a gift of money and a gold ring. So the LORD blessed Job in the second half of his life even more than in the beginning. For now he had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 teams of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. He also gave Job seven more sons and three more daughters. (compare with Job 1:1-3)

Mark 10:30a  "... will receive now in return a hundred times as many houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and property--along with persecution." 

 

"and will have eternal life in the world to come." 

Matthew 19:28  Jesus replied, "I assure you that when the world is made new and the Son of Man sits upon his glorious throne, you who have been my followers will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."

Matthew 19:29b  "... will inherit eternal life."

Mark 10:30b  "And in the world to come that person will have eternal life."

John 10:27-30  "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me, for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else. No one can snatch them from the Father's hand. The Father and I are one."

Romans 6:23  For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
