1. Matthew 6:4 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

What is the reward that kingdom citizens can expect from their Father?

Matthew 6:4 (ESV)

4 so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

The reward is not specified. It could be related to something eschatological (see Matthew 25:34–36)1 or the blessing of a good conscience/knowledge that your actions have pleased your Father.2 In either case, the motive for action is not selfish (a heavenly reward) but simply a desire to please the Father because you love the Father.
