GodThoughts Wired!

"Eternal Rewards"

The concept of rewards and punishment is distinct and pervasive throughout scripture, which is not surprising in light of God’s universal law of sowing and reaping (see Galatians 6:7-9). During our brief (see James 4:13-17) stay on earth, there are inherent rewards and punishments in affect, determined by the way we choose to live our lives.

“The time to reward Your bond-servants the prophets
and the saints and those who fear Your name…”
Revelation 11:18

We know that the punishment for rejecting Christ is hell, eternal separation from God (see Matthew 25:46; see also The Bible Says Series, What Does the Bible Say About…Hell?), and the “reward” for accepting Him is eternal life with God in Heaven (see Matthew 25:41). But what about Heaven once we’re there? Are all things equal in Heaven?  Is it the same for everyone? Are there rewards in Heaven?

What does the Bible Say?

"The time to reward Your bond-servants the prophets
and the saints and those who fear Your name…”
Revelation 11:18
