HEAVEN: With Christ -2 "Rewards In Heaven?"

The Word speaks often about 'rewards' in Heaven. Even though we're saved by grace, our discipleship on this earth should produce results for the Master so that we receive rewards in Heaven.

The idea of rewards is woven into the most basic understanding of faith:  "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." (Hebrews 11:6 NIV)

And it appears often in Jesus' teachings. When persecuted, we should “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven." (Luke 6:23 NIV)

Yes, we're saved by grace, but our discipleship matters. As Bonhoeffer put it, "Salvation is free, but discipleship will cost you your life."
