Deuteronomy 28:1-13

Is that not very clear? God holds out the expectation of reward. That is a part, a very clear part of one of the elements of His childrearing practices. He is rearing us.

I think that we would have to admit that as He reared Jesus Christ, He did an awfully good job. He trained up His Son in the way that He should go. And when He was older, He never departed from it. God knows that holding out the carrots, giving a child the expectation, the hope, of reward, is not wrong. It is a right principle.
