God's benefits compared to Social Security

Believer's who study God's word have come to learn that Christian survivor's have many benefits. These benefits go beyond any benefits that man can provide. We are accustomed to survival benefits related to insurance, various employment plans and Social Security. However, God has a survivors plan that goes beyond Social Security and insurance.
A SURVIVORS BENEFIT WITH GOD IS NOT PAID IN A LUMP AND THEN FORGOTTEN.
In certain circumstances the Social Security will pay a survivor a huge lump sum and then close the case. That ends the assistance forever. God never closes the case. Jesus, speaking to His disciples, said "And lo, I'll be with you alway, even unto the end of the earth." God never forgets those who trust in Him. He remembers them and provides for them long after their loved one has been called home.
A SURVIVOR'S BENEFITS ISN'T DEPENDENT UPON ANYONE'S WORK BUT OUR OWN.
Survivor's benefits in social security are based on the amount of work of the deceased. The amount of assistance that a person receives is related to the amount that the deceased actually earned in his lifetime. Thus, your benefit is dependent on his work. However, when God considers the saints, He does not base what He does for us on anyone else's service and faith. Each believer can expect to receive the love and support of God that is the result of their own faith, not the experience of faith of the father, mother or spouse.
A SURVIVOR'S BENEFITS ARE NOT PRORATED BY FAMILY SIZE:
With Social Security there is a maximum amount of benefit a family of survivors can receive because the total amount of the benefit is divided by the number of family members. Survivors in a large family expect to receive less individually because the total benefit is divided by the number of eligible survivors. But in the kingdom of God there is no limit to God's benefits to survivors. There is no limit to God's benevolence. He will open up the windows of heaven and pour out enough blessings to handle every believer that trusts in Him.
A SURVIVOR'S BENEFIT IS NOT TIME SENSITIVE:
With Social Security, the deceased must have paid premiums on wages for a set number of quarters before his survivors are eligible for benefits. No minimum, in most cases six quarters, is not negotiable. But in the kingdom of God the survivor's benefit is not time sensitive. It doesn't matter whether you have known the Lord six quarters or six minutes, the benefits are the same. Jesus gave a parable of a workman that hired some of his workers at the beginning of the day and others at the close of the day. However, He paid all of the workers the same wage. He emphasized the point that in His eyesight every believer is the same and can expect the same reward.
