Double

Revelation 18:6 (NIV)

6Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done. Mix her a double portion from her own cup.

The “she” here is the world, referred to as Babylon. She is in sharp contrast to the Bride of Christ. Both will receive as they gave.

The parable of the talents teaches the same truth. The faithful servants were rewarded with much by being faithful with little.

As we give mercy, so will we receive mercy. How we live makes a difference. God is abundant in His reward.
