"God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him as you have helped His people and continue to help them." Hebrews 6:10 (NIV)
The unknown author of The Book of Hebrews was writing to the scattered believers after the death of Christ, in order to encourage them to hold on and keep the faith. He told them that God would not forget what they had done in His name, and that they would be rewarded.
Believers know that God sees all that we do (Proverbs 5:21), hears all that we say (John 9:31 and 1 John 5:14), and knows all of our thoughts (Psalms 94:11) and intentions (Psalms 19:14). He does not forget anything, He just chooses not to remember our sins which have been forgiven. (Jeremiah 31:34, Hebrews 8:12, and Hebrews 10:17) Our Heavenly Father will remember all of the work that we do in His name, and all of the help that we give to the poor. Our efforts will be rewarded and we will inherit the promises of God. (Hebrews 6:12)
