God Rewards Faithful Kindness
Commentators emphasize that God's promise to save Ebed-melech was a direct reward for his kindness to Jeremiah. This act wasn't just humanitarian; it was an expression of trust in God, performed at great personal risk. As Matthew Henry notes, God recompenses our service based on the principle of faith behind it. This encourages believers to act courageously for others, trusting that God sees and will reward their faith.
