God rewards faith.

That's pretty antedelluvian. Most monotheists understand the Book of Job to teach us that material blessings, or their lack, are not indicative of one's amount of faith.

Sigh.

Pick up a Bible and read it. I believe you can do that now.

When God's collective people are in faith, as a whole they prosper. When they sin, they are punished.

It's all through the OT. (that's the first 2/3rds)
