When we look at the history, those who had been unfaithful to God, God abandoned them.
It's because they did evil in the eyes of God.

However, the opposite grew powerful because they walked steadfastly before their God.
It's because God Almighty was with them always.

God promised the glory and honor in heaven when we follow God.

Rev. 2:10 Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown.
